China’s Ministry of Commerce on Friday urged the United States to immediately stop its wrong practice of taking discriminatory and restrictive measures against Chinese research institutions.
A ministry spokesperson made the remarks in response to the U.S. Department of War's release of its research security audit results on some U.S. universities on Oct 19. The results noted that the universities concerned had fully terminated their cooperative relationships with entities on its Section 1286 list, which includes many Chinese research institutions.
China consistently opposes the U.S. overstretching the concept of national security, politicizing, weaponizing and instrumentalizing scientific research exchanges and cooperation, and making unreasonable and stigmatizing accusations against Chinese research institutions, the spokesperson said in a statement.
The relevant U.S. practices essentially coerce U.S. research institutions into taking sides and deliberately undermine normal China-U.S. scientific research cooperation. This will only weaken the U.S. own scientific and technological progress and innovative development. Strengthened China-U.S. scientific research cooperation serves the common interests of both sides, while restriction and decoupling will only harm others and oneself, according to the spokesperson.
China urges the United States to respect the facts, follow the universal rules governing global scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation and the trend of the times, and immediately stop its wrong practice of taking discriminatory and restrictive measures against Chinese research institutions. China will take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese research institutions, the spokesperson noted.
