This law mandates that the US Secretary of State must notify Congress and wait 30 days before entering into or renewing any science and technology agreement with the People’s Republic of China. The primary goal is to protect US national security and intellectual property from potential harmful technology transfers. This process requires detailed risk assessments and justifications, ensuring greater oversight of international scientific collaborations.
