Restricting US Funds for Universities Partnering with Chinese Military Institutions.

This legislation aims to protect US national security and research by prohibiting federal funding for institutions (including US universities and companies) that maintain contracts with Chinese universities linked to the People's Liberation Army. It tightens rules on research funding, access to classified information, and significantly lowers the threshold for US universities to disclose foreign gifts. The act also promotes Mandarin language education through partnerships with Taiwan.
