Japan is looking to bolster the country’s academic monitoring system to prevent leaks of sensitive U.S. technologies to other countries such as China through its universities.
Many Japanese universities have become recipients of advanced technologies through various research partnerships with companies and institutes from other countries, including the United States and China. That creates the risk that U.S. technology could end up in the hands of Chinese companies.
