TREE NEWS update: China’s Ministry of Commerce on Thursday urged the US to immediately stop discriminatory and restrictive measures against Chinese research institutions, after the US Department of Defense published the results of its so-called research security review. A ministry spokesperson said Washington is politicizing and weaponizing scientific exchanges and pressuring US institutions to pick sides, warning that decoupling will harm both sides. Beijing said it will take necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights of Chinese research bodies.

The exchange extends the US-China friction from trade and chips into research and scientific collaboration, a channel that underpins a lot of early-stage technology work. The explicit warning about decoupling harming both sides signals Beijing sees the review as part of a broader restrictive trend rather than an isolated case. The open question is whether this stays rhetorical or escalates into concrete countermeasures affecting joint research and institutional partnerships.
