Protecting US Technology: Banning Research Collaboration with Chinese Military Entities.

This law aims to safeguard US technology and national security by preventing federal funds from supporting foreign military development. It prohibits US institutions receiving federal aid (like universities and companies) from engaging in scientific or technical exchanges in sensitive areas with Chinese entities linked to the military. This measure is designed to block the transfer of critical dual-use technologies (civilian and military) to China.
Key points
US research institutions and companies receiving federal funding are banned from joint research in critical fields (e.g., AI, semiconductors) with Chinese entities connected to the military.
The goal is to protect US innovation and prevent its use by the Chinese military under the 'Military-Civil Fusion' strategy.
Violating these rules results in the immediate loss of all future federal financial assistance for the non-compliant institution.
The Department of Defense will establish a public website listing prohibited research areas and the specific Chinese entities of concern.
