MOFCOM spokesperson said the US is broadening its national security concept and
erecting discriminatory barriers, politicizing and weaponizing research
cooperation, and thereby obstructing Sino-US scientific exchanges — a move
contrary to global technology collaboration. China urges the US to stop smearing
Chinese research institutions, correct its approach, and provide fair,
impartial, non‑discriminatory treatment. China will take necessary measures to
safeguard the legitimate rights of its research institutions and to protect
normal scientific exchanges and cooperation.
