Call to Action: Rick Scott Urges Administration to Terminate Research Pact with China
Senator Rick Scott is urging the Biden administration to reject renewing research ties with China that have been in place since 1979. In a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Scott argues that China has become America’s enemy and has engaged in military aggression, intellectual property theft, and human rights violations. He emphasizes the need to protect economic growth, American innovation, and American values by not entering into agreements that harm these interests. Scott specifically points to China’s handling of the COVID pandemic, its theft of American intellectual property, and its treatment of the Uyghur minority as examples of China’s departure from the spirit of the existing agreement.
