Articles on August 19, the British Financial Times website entitled entitled cooperation in the field of Sino -US tension relations, the author is Michael Pierre and Eleano OlkatEssenceThe full text is as follows:
The continuously upgraded tension between the United States and China may allow a 45 -year science and technology protocol that will be renewed later this month to interrupt, thereby hindering the cooperation between the two superpowers in critical areas.
Researchers are trying to find a change of ways to bypass the intergovernmental relationships that have become nervous. Some researchers focus on areas that are not so big but can cooperate with the controversy, such as climate change and disease -related diseases.
It is difficult for the two parties to make a large -scale and long extension of this scientific and technological agreement, showing how the political problems destroy the cutting -edge research work.This bilateral protocol supports work in various fields including energy, agriculture, civil industrial technology and disaster management.
As the United States restricts China's channels for semiconductor products, Washington is worried that the so -called violations of intellectual property rights and the possible use of sensitive new technologies for the military are increasing.American security officials are also worried that academic cooperation may provide ways for Chinese spy activities.
Vohn Tutrekian, the executive director of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medical College of Science, Engineering and Medical, said: "This is the core issue of the United States and China.(A agreement) suddenly became the focus of the relationship between the two parties.
For a long time, this scientific and technological agreement has been a symbol of the pillar of Sino -US relations and a promoter of important actual cooperation.It is one of the first bilateral agreements signed by the United States in 1979 after establishing diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.
Tutrekian, a scientific and technological consultant of former US Secretary of State John Kerry, said the agreement provided a "complex that includes various permits."Other scientists have emphasized that in the past, research cooperation in the fields of influenza monitoring, pollution control and increased folic acid intake in pregnant women was important.
Wang Yibo, an expert at the School of Economics and Management of the University of Hong Kong, said: "This agreement has a huge symbolic significance. It sends a clear signal to Beijing and Washington, which allows academic cooperation. If the agreement is terminated, a strong signal will be issued.It shows that this cooperation is not encouraged.
The agreement is usually renewed every five years, but it has not yet been renewed since its expiration in August 2023.The two sides have retreated for the second time. They agreed twice for six consecutive months, and the second extension will expire on August 27.
Many observers believe that before the US presidential election in November, it is unlikely to be extended for a long time.Both parties are becoming more and more tough in the fields of trade and national security.
A spokesman for the State Department of the United States said that the United States is "actively negotiating (on the agreement)" to protect its participating institutions and researchers.Washington is not a "prediction result", "challenges" of domestic laws and policies such as military -civilian integration research "with a real attitude."
The spokesman also said that the United States had previously adopted a short -term postponement method to adjust the content of the agreement.From 2016 to 2018, the United States re -negotiated the attachment clauses to strengthen intellectual property protection through this way.
But the tensions caused by technology have become more and more intensive, which is consistent with the worsening trend of Sino -US relations.The Trump administration launched a "China Action Plan" for the so -called spy behavior in 2018. Later, the Ministry of Justice canceled the plan in 2022.
In some research fields that are generally considered to be beneficial to each other, China and the United States have launched cooperation.In January of this year, the White House chief scientific consultant stated that the two countries would cooperate in the field of artificial intelligence security.
In the West and China, many researchers said that maintaining cooperation is crucial.The new crown epidemic and enhancement of bacterial anti -medicinal properties highlight the coordination operations of emerging threats in accordance with common interests.
The director of the American Science Promotion Association is responsible for international affairs and scientific diplomacy, Kimberli Monagemari, said that younger Chinese and American researchers are crucial to establish a connection with each other in response to the "next crisis."
Montgomery, who is difficult to recognize, said: "We do support for a long period of extension of the agreement. Over time, things have changed, so there are some problems that really need to be considered, (such as) data exchange and transparency."
Wang Yibo said that the cancellation of the agreement will not only have a chilling effect on the joint research project, but also affect the willingness of American universities to approve American scholars to participate in the meeting or seminar.(Compiled/Tuyu)
