[Daily Caller] Georgia Republican Rep. Rick Allen is introducing legislation to close loopholes exploited by Chinese military firms to access federal research grants.Allen’s legislation would prohibit the National Science Foundation (NSF) from providing grants to any individual or entity affiliated with or related to a Chinese military company. The bill is known as the American Science First Act and seeks to prevent the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from exploiting research funded by U.S. taxpayers.
"The American Science First Act takes concrete steps to combat the CCP’s persistent efforts to steal American intellectual property and use it against us," Allen told the Daily Caller.
