A decades-old science and technology cooperative agreement between the United States and China expires on Aug. 27, 2023.

Key Points: 
  • A decades-old science and technology cooperative agreement between the United States and China expires on Aug. 27, 2023.
  • But unless it’s renewed, the quiet end to a cooperative era may have consequences for scientific research and technological innovation.
  • As a policy analyst and public affairs professor, I research international collaboration in science and technology and its implications for public policy.
  • The U.S.’s science and technology agreement with China successfully built joint research projects and shared research centers between the two nations.
  • But this is not the case with China, where the 1979 agreement became a prerequisite for and the initiator of cooperation.

A 40-year diplomatic investment

    • U.S. President Richard Nixon set in motion the process of normalizing relations with China in the early 1970s.
    • While China is historically known for inventing gunpowder, paper and the compass, China was not a scientific power in the 1970s.
    • They figured starting with a nonthreatening scientific agreement could pave the way for later discussions on more politically sensitive issues.
    • As China’s economy expanded, so did its investment in domestic research and development.
    • In the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, these strong ties led to rapid, increased Chinese-U.S. cooperation in response to the crisis.

Time of conflict

    • As China’s economy and technological success grew, however, U.S. government agencies and Congress began to scrutinize the agreement and its output.
    • Chinese know-how began to build military strength and, with China’s military and political influence growing, they worried about intellectual property theft, trade secret violations and national security vulnerabilities coming from connections with the U.S.
    • Recent U.S. legislation, such as the CHIPS and Science Act, is a direct response to China’s stunning expansion.

A victim of success?

    • As political and military tensions grow, both countries are wary of renewal of the agreement, even as China has signed similar agreements with over 100 nations.
    • The United States is stuck in a world that no longer exists – one where it dominates science and technology.
    • Even if the recent extension results in a renegotiated agreement, the U.S. has signaled to China a reluctance to cooperate.
    • Meanwhile, Chinese researchers who are in the U.S. are increasingly likely to return home taking valuable knowledge with them.
