EXCLUSIVE: Biden administration quietly seeks to renew expired tech agreement with China

 

The Biden administration and Chinaโ€™s government are quietly working to renew a 44-year-old science and technology cooperation agreement that congressional Republicans say should be permanently killed because now it only serves to boost the Chinese military and undermine American security.

 

The 1979 U.S.-China Science and Technology Agreement, seen at the time as an important milestone in bilateral relations, expired August 27 after a six-month extension and both governments are trying to come to terms on renewal.
