No Taxpayer Funding for China Research: Protecting US Intellectual Property

This bill aims to stop the use of US taxpayer money to fund research that could benefit China. The goal is to protect American intellectual property and prevent its theft. For citizens, this means their taxes will not support activities that could weaken the economic and national security of the United States.
Key points
The bill requires the Attorney General to report on how US taxpayer-funded research has benefited China.
The report must include a list of institutions that hired Chinese nationals or allowed them to conduct US government-funded research.
The objective is to prevent intellectual property theft and the use of US research by China, including for military purposes or human rights abuses.
