The Chinese government has identified genetic data as a national strategic resource and is strengthening state control over the country's gene banks and other repositories of genetic information. Is it a way which will be followed by any country soon? What's your opinion?
It is not entirely clear which gene banks you mean, which organisms?
we will wait for the opinions of other users

I didn't understand a little, but why do they need it? And why is it a strategic resource?
I found some very strange information 😯 😯 😯
"The National Genetic Database (NGD) is an ideal tool for finding organ donors for the ruling elite. For example, some local leader or his grandfather's brother got sick, turned to NGD, found a suitable young man and a few days later he goes missing."
Do many countries have such a database?
The above resource does not cover the question of why these genetic data are collected.
