The U.S. House of Representatives committee on China has requested a briefing from the FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) on the activities of Chinese biotech firm GenScript and its connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The committee, led by Chairman Rep. John Moolenaar and Ranking Member Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, is particularly concerned about GenScript's role in establishing CCP-controlled chokepoints in critical areas of the biotechnology industry. This request marks an expansion of the committee's focus from contract research organizations (CROs) and national security to include therapeutics developers and commercial competitiveness, including Legend Biotech.
