China has become a global science and technology leader. While this development does raise concerns for the U.S., blanket efforts to eliminate U.S.-China scientific interaction do not benefit long-term U.S. security interests. Instead, they can threaten the U.S. innovative edge by cutting off both access to and visibility into global scientific frontiers. It is becoming increasingly urgent to develop new frameworks that manage security risks while continuing to permit U.S.-Chinese scientific cooperation in an atmosphere that is not poisoned by political suspicion.
Join Quincy Institute non-resident fellow Denis Simon and Ohio State University professor Carolyn Wagner for a discussion of a new scientific policy framework, “Smart Openness". We will discuss China’s rise to global scientific prominence, the ways in which Chinese scientific leadership requires a re-assessment of long-term American interests in scientific cooperation, the current state of U.S.-China collaboration, and ways to balance national security concerns with the need to maintain a productive and open scientific and research environment in the U.S.
