WASHINGTON—Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) are opening a new front in the war against China’s theft of U.S. technology.
The senators want federal investigators to determine if officials at the National Institutes for Health (NIH) gave access to U.S. genomic data to for-profit companies from China, including WuXi Nextcode Genomics (WuXi) and Shenzhen BGI Technology Co. (BGI).
