Biden's China Tech Deal: A Risky Move?

USATuesday, December 17, 2024

President Joe Biden's team has just agreed to a five-year extension of a science and technology sharing agreement with China, originally set up by President Jimmy Carter. The problem? China has a history of using this knowledge to boost its military power. While the State Department claims new safeguards are in place, China's interests haven't changed. Congressman John Moolenaar criticized the decision, saying it could limit the new administration's options.

Meanwhile, China is happy, seeing the deal as beneficial for both countries. But what about our allies? They might think the U. S. isn't that concerned about tech sharing with China anymore, making it harder to convince them to restrict their own sharing. This decision could make it tougher for the incoming president to manage foreign policy.
