Sense of Congress

It is the sense of Congress that— (1) while the United States is committed to promoting cultural and technological exchange with other countries, it is our responsibility to protect the United States when channels for such exchange are exploited by adversaries; and (2) the People's Republic of China consistently seeks to exploit those channels, not only in its theft of intellectual property but also in its manipulation of lawful transfer and uses of technology in ways that directly support its military objectives and threaten the United States.
