If, and only if, they are looking for the right genes, this should work better than the somewhat culture-bound IQ and other aptitude tests in use around the world. Let's wish them luck in this new endeavor.

China degenerated once the WEST slithered in and did the dirty deed it does - drug addiction, OPIUM, to be exact. Once this horrible affliction set course in China, the result was collapse and then more than a century of horror which took the highest of our human civilization reached and crashed the idea of human "Shin" onto the trash heap of human suffering we still witness to this day. Until this technology (which has usurped the idea of GOD) is reigned in as only a tool to use and not a GOD, the human being is too stupid to discern the difference between innate genius and limited intelligence.
