Preventing PLA Acquisition of United States Technology Act of 2023
This bill prohibits U.S. research institutions, federal agencies, and companies receiving federal funds from engaging in scientific collaborations with Chinese entities tied to China's military-civil fusion strategy. It defines "Chinese entities of concern" as universities with military ties, defense-linked companies, and other organizations supporting China's military technology development. The law requires covered entities to report all research partnerships with these Chinese groups and establishes a public website listing restricted research areas (like quantum computing, semiconductors, and AI) and listed entities. Violations result in loss of federal funding, with annual reporting and audits mandated to enforce compliance.
