To Do: Ban Chinese Research Funding at US Universities
Recommendation
The administration should ban Chinese research funding at U.S. universities to prevent IP theft.
Details
While China has proven that it can innovate, it is still guilty of stealing U.S. intellectual property and research to advance its own national technology innovations. One way it does this is by funding U.S. university research. Research conducted in Chinese-funded U.S. universities is taken back to China for use in its own technology, hurting U.S. competitiveness. The next administration should issue a ban on any university that receives federal funding from also receiving Chinese funding for research.
