The federal House of Representatives has passed two bills designed to make the US more competitive with the Chinese when in comes to Science and Technology.
Interestingly enough:
The National Science Foundation for the Future Act also includes a provision that prohibits research and development grant applicants from participating in “malign foreign talent recruitment” programs from a “foreign country of concern” for the duration of their award.
The countries of concerns currently include China, North Korea, Russia, Iran.
The measures would also encompass the Chinese regime’s Thousand Talents Program, which has come under close U.S. scrutiny over threats to national security.
Of course those congressmen who are bought and paid for by the Chinese pitched a hissy. But I’m hoping this will fly.
