Pentagon mandates review of university foreign ties
The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) has ordered 30 American universities to review their partnerships with foreign scientific institutions, especially Chinese universities and institutes, within two weeks. The goal is to protect federally funded research from theft and exploitation. Institutions that fail to cancel suspicious agreements will face the loss of government funding. This decision comes as part of an escalation in scrutiny of China's increasing influence in the academic sphere, following the publication of a list of 130 foreign institutions suspected of engaging in activities that threaten U.S. national security, amid ongoing concerns about the impact of these partnerships on national security.
