Stop Funding Our Adversaries Act of 2023

Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

Bill 119 HR 1032, also known as the "Prohibition of Federal Funding for Research in China Act," aims to prevent the use of federal funds for research projects conducted in China. The bill specifically targets research that is funded by the United States government and carried out in China.

The main purpose of this legislation is to address concerns about intellectual property theft, national security risks, and unethical research practices that may be associated with research projects conducted in China. By prohibiting federal funding for such research, the bill seeks to protect American interests and ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to support activities that could potentially harm the United States.

In addition to prohibiting federal spending on research in China, the bill also includes provisions for reporting requirements and enforcement mechanisms to ensure compliance. This includes requiring federal agencies to report on any research projects conducted in China that receive federal funding, as well as establishing penalties for violations of the prohibition. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1032 represents a bipartisan effort to address concerns about the potential risks associated with research projects conducted in China and to safeguard American interests and taxpayer dollars.
