Restricting US-China Scientific Collaboration to Protect US Technology
New regulations aim to prevent the Chinese military from acquiring US technology. They restrict research cooperation and technical exchange between US institutions and selected Chinese entities. This is intended to protect innovation and national security, affecting who US universities and companies can collaborate with in key defense-related fields.
Key points
Prohibition on research and technical exchange for US institutions (universities, companies, federal agencies) with Chinese entities linked to the military or civil-military fusion strategy.
Creation of a public list of prohibited research areas (e.g., AI, quantum technologies) and Chinese entities with whom collaboration is forbidden.
Annual reporting requirement for US institutions on research relationships with Chinese entities; violations may result in loss of federal financial assistance.
