Republican senators demand an end to science and tech cooperation with China
Medial

A group of Republican senators is urging the Biden administration to revoke a science and technology agreement with China, claiming that it opens the door for further cooptation of American research. The lawmakers, including Sen. Jim Risch, argue that the renewal of the agreement denies the incoming administration the chance to weigh in on a controversial agreement. The State Department has stated that the new agreement has more safeguards to protect U.S. interests, but the senators are concerned about protecting intellectual property and preventing the illicit transfer of knowledge. Critics argue that cutting off cooperation with China would hinder American scientific progress.
