Michigan Representative John Moolenaar has requested that the U.S. Defense Department add 58 more Chinese universities and 62 technology labs to its restricted list of entities that are barred from receiving American research funding due to alleged collaboration with institutions tied to China's military or intelligence agencies. The proposed additions include Tsinghua University, which is connected to numerous top American business leaders. This move aims to prevent potential risks associated with federal funding collaborations in fields like semiconductors and artificial intelligence.

Story summary
In October, Michigan Representative John Moolenaar, chair of the House Select Committee on China, urged the US Defense Department to add 58 more Chinese universities and 62 technology labs to the 1286 list. This list identifies institutions collaborating with entities that pose security risks. The Defense Department restricts research funding for any entity working with schools on this list, considering such collaborations a compliance risk that jeopardizes US federal funds. In August, the department announced it would investigate 30 US universities to determine if they are cooperating with Chinese institutions listed under 1286. These measures aim to curb potential security threats posed by research partnerships between American and Chinese entities in fields like semiconductors, AI, and quantum computing.
