Foreign Media: The United States is cutting off one of the last major ties between U.S.-China relations—scientific collaboration—by restricting federal funding for research partnerships with Chinese institutions.
Although the U.S.-China Science and Technology Agreement, signed in 1979, was extended through the end of 2024, funding restrictions, blacklists, and security regulations are continuously shrinking the space for actual cooperation.
