He said: "I met with the new Minister of Science and Technology (China) in Beijing a few weeks ago. We are starting to start the agreement whether the agreement is extended, whether to sign a new agreement, and what issues will be involved.Think this will be complicated. "

The United States supports those who support the agreement that if they do not do so, the United States will lose valuable opportunities to understand China's technological progress.Some Republicans in the United States Congress advocated the abolition of the agreement on the grounds that they were worried that industrial espionage, mandatory technology transfer, and other strategies that could promote China's military modernization.Many analysts said that at the time of intensified strategic competition with China, the agreement must be revised at least to ensure the innovative results of the United States.
