well yes....that's also where China is investing the most. It's a research field with lots less competition than the others, but literally plenty of small companies, so it was a very smart move from them. And it's the only way to go if you want to solve the problem in my opinion. What they have already done to fight beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease therapies is impressing and looks (at least according to the latest updates) as definitive solutions for that. And it's a technique that is basically like 10 years old, so even more impressing....and now there are at least 4-5 other crispr techniques apart from cas9.
