The U.S. and China renewed a science and technology cooperation agreement, reflecting a balance between ongoing collaboration and rising bilateral tensions.
The pact emphasizes limited government-to-government cooperation focused on basic research, such as earthquake sensor data, under tightened security and transparency measures.
Concerns from the U.S. regarding China's national strategies in science and technology prompted modifications to the agreement, ensuring benefits to U.S. interests and national security.
Lawmakers, particularly Republicans, expressed discontent with the timing of the renewal, suggesting it should have been decided by incoming President Trump.
