Washington \u2013 Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) submitted direct and specific questions for the record (QFR) to address troubling concerns with the widespread research collaboration between the United States and the People\u2019s Republic of China. Issa forwarded the queries following last week\u2019s House Science, Space, and Technology Committee research security hearing entitled \u201cExamining Federal Science Agency Actions to Secure the U.S. Science and Technology Enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur longstanding, broad-based science and technology collaboration with the PRC has failed to further our national interests and has instead promoted the advantage of our top global competitor,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Rep Issa said.\u00a0\u201cThe United States has no use for a partnership where technology shared means technology stolen, and that\u2019s why we need answers before we continue this one-sided relationship, worsen national security risks, and exacerbate the negative consequences resulting from the exploitation of both our legal system and innovators.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

An excerpt of Congressman Issa\u2019s QFR:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. For decades, the United States has pursued broad-based research science and technology collaboration with the People\u2019s Republic of China, especially between academic institutions in the United States with China\u2019s universities.\n
      \n
    1. To what extent does the United States rely upon the PRC\u2019s research and development apparatus for our scientific advancement?<\/li>\n
    2. Do your agencies assess if this broad-based cooperation continues to be in the United States\u2019 interest? If so, why?<\/li>\n
    3. Are benefits derived from such broad-based cooperation reciprocal to both the United States and the PRC?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. Fundamental research has long been exempt from export controls. Despite significant advances in our understanding of the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s technological ambitions and strategy, this policy has yet to be revisited.\n
        \n
      1. Do you believe the time has come to reevaluate National Security Decision Directive 189?<\/li>\n
      2. Do your agencies assess that fundamental research is necessary for the People\u2019s Republic to achieve the goals of its China Made in China 2025 industrial policy?<\/li>\n
      3. Do your agencies assess that basic research collaboration and knowledge transfer of fundamental research support People\u2019s Liberation Army modernization?<\/li>\n
      4. Can you describe the benefits that would result from stemming the flow of basic research to the PRC?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      5. Since the China Initiative\u2019s termination, have any of your agencies experienced a shift in the willingness or ability of the Justice Department to pursue criminal cases related to research security violations and intellectual property theft from China?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
