India accuses China of using biomimetic weapons
Uttar Pradesh, March 16, 2050:
Biomimetic insect cyborgs have been deployed by China in the Aksai Chin conflict, according to Indian military sources.
Indian military officials held a press conference here today and displayed several locusts, which appeared to be fitted with a tiny electronic device.
"These weaponised insects clearly contravene the 2041 Seoul Protocol against the use of weaponised insects, animals or viruses," an Indian military spokesman claimed.
The Seoul Protocol was developed following the release by United Korea in 2038 of migratory fowl weaponised with a flu-like virus, which spread throughout the Korean Peninsula and Southern China, and resulted in the death of 22,500 people.
China however is not a signatory to the Seoul Protocol. Chinese officials contacted today refused to comment on the Indian claims. The two Superpowers are currently at war over the 580 sq.km Aksai Chin district bordering Kashmir.
An Indian military engineer said the insects appeared to have been created for surveillance and explosives detection, judging by the hardware in their bodies.
"Also, all the insects we found were dead, indicating they may have a deactivation system which will kill them when they have reached their target, in order to be sure they stay in place," he said.
China has long been known to have a biomimetics program, following the high profile defections in 2042 of two US scientists. The US killed many of its more advanced biomimetics research programs in the 2040s following the collapse of its domestic economy.
The US insect cyborg program was first initiated in 2006, and prototypes underwent several field tests, but if confirmed this will be the first time any country has deployed them in wartime.
