PoliticsChina urges US to lift restrictions on research institutions

China’s Ministry of Commerce called on the United States to promptly reverse restrictions it described as discriminatory toward Chinese research institutions, warning that technological decoupling would ultimately hurt US innovation. The appeal followed a US Defense Department security audit that found several American universities had ended ties with entities on the Pentagon’s Section 1286 list. Beijing accused Washington of politicizing research cooperation and said it would take necessary steps to protect Chinese research institutions’ legitimate rights and interests.
