Race is bullshit but genetics are a thing. The problem is, the science behind genetics can get really calipery really quick if left unchecked. People of certain ethnic or geographic backgrounds tend to be more or less susceptible to different ailments. For instance, Sickle Cell Disease is much more common among people who originate from Sub-Saharan Africa than it is for most other populations.
Fascists look at scientific discoveries like this and see a doorway to developing white-supremacist pathogens. Then imperial core normies project it onto their state adversaries because no matter how evil the US is, the enemy must be worse.
With regards to the meme: I think it's really funny that these people think a racially segregated Chinese-American military division would turn out to be America's final line of defense, considering the US's historical treatment of Chinese laborers or it's contemporary climate of suspicion and fetishization. We're already purging Chinese people from research positions in universities because of a general paranoia about espionage and they think we're going to turn around and give them all the tanks and F-35s. The whole fantasy is the product of an exceptionally melted cape-brain.
There isn’t a single genetic marker that could reliably be used as a proxy for socially constructed race. A bioweapon targeting a gene (is that even a thing?) would both leave a ton of the targeted race alive and a ton of the nontargeted races dead.
It is incredibly unlikely, as in verging on impossible like walking through a solid wall because if quantum effects possible, that you could find a critical gene that could be targeted to a specific "race."
It's definitely possible to make drugs that are "race targeted". They won't be 100% accurate, but if 23 and Me can do a Race Science on you with just your spit (and it's pretty accurate from my family's results), they can make diseases too.
That being said, it's a moot point because most Chinese people in Canada are either not from the PRC or left the PRC because they're rich and needed a safe place to park their money (and Canada is very easy to move to if you're rich). There's 0.0% chance that they would be an effective sleeper cell.

That isn't really a problem for the bioweapon, since it is also not real.
It is not; this concept would be laughable if the racism behind it weren't deadly serious.

of course there are genetic differences between our social races, but not to such a ridiculous extent.
