U.S. legislators are taking significant steps against Chinese biotech firms over national security concerns. @RepGallagher has called on the Justice Department to review the Biotechnology Innovation Organization's lobbying efforts for a Chinese military-linked biotech firm, which he claims advances Beijing's interests. Concurrently, Senator Hagerty, with @SenGaryPeters and other cosponsors, introduced a bill to prevent Chinese biotech firms, including @BGI_Genomics and @WuXi_AppTec, from accessing American DNA data. The House Select Committee on China and the Senate are scrutinizing these firms and @IAmBiotech ahead of a hearing on the Biosecure Act, set for March 7. The legislation aims to restrict business with these companies, citing national security threats.
