Pentagon Orders Universities to Audit China Ties | Philadelphia News

The Pentagon is demanding 30 U.S. universities audit their ties to Chinese schools—especially those involved in military training—in just two weeks, or risk losing federal funding. This follows a broader list of 130 foreign institutions deemed risky for misusing American research, mostly Chinese but including some from Iran and Russia. While the government insists this is about protecting taxpayer-funded innovation, academics are pushing back, arguing the move unfairly targets partnerships without evidence. Meanwhile, a separate probe into Harvard’s Chinese donor scholarships adds to mounting pressure on universities. The Chinese embassy warns that academic exchanges are being politicized and calls for a return to open collaboration between the U.S. and China.
