  The agreement's extension had been under negotiation for months after U.S. lawmakers raised concerns that cooperation with China could undermine national security.


The U.S. and China have agreed to renew their Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement, originally signed in 1979, amidst ongoing tensions and rivalry in various domains. This renewal, which occurred just before the agreement was set to expire, underscores the importance both nations place on scientific collaboration despite geopolitical frictions. The agreement facilitates cooperation in areas like agriculture, energy, environment, health, and space, aiming to foster mutual benefits through joint research and development.

The decision to extend the pact reflects a complex balancing act between fostering scientific progress and managing strategic competition.
