A bipartisan group of senators is calling on President Joe Biden to make sure the United States completes a “thorough review” of U.S. funding for Chinese virus research.

“The United States must complete a thorough review of existing and prior U.S. government support or funding for research collaboration with the PRC [People’s Republic of China] related to gain-of-function, synthetic biology, biotechnology, or other research areas that pose dual-use concerns,” the senators wrote in a July 27 letter to Biden.
