The Biden-era Department of Defense (DOD) funded hundreds of research projects involving Chinese universities and institutes tied to China’s military industry, including ones already on U.S. government blacklists, a congressional investigation has found.

The 80-page report, released on Sept. 5 by Republicans on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, identified about 1,400 research papers published between June 2023 and June 2025 that acknowledged Pentagon funding or support, while also involving collaboration with Chinese entities.
