Rekindling the U.S.-China S&T Relationship: Challenges and Opportunities
[link removed]

On Dec 13, 2024, the U.S. announced that it has renewed, with substantial revisions, the U.S.-PRC Science and Technology Agreement (STA). The agreement was finally approved by both sides after two six month extensions and over 12 months of intense bilateral negotiations. The U.S. decision to continue forward with an S&T cooperation agreement with China occurred against the backdrop of continued tensions between Beijing and Washington. And it has occurred even with considerable Congressional opposition.

To understand the reasons underlying the Biden Administration decision in its final days to approve the agreement, the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft will hold a webinar to discuss various aspects of the new agreement, why renewing the agreement with China is so important, and what we can expect to happen once the Trump Administration is in place on January 20th, 2025.
