US restrictions shatter science links with China, spurring Singapore and South Korea

The United States has implemented new security restrictions on federally funded scientific collaborations with Chinese institutions, effectively shattering a long-standing link between the two nations. This move, despite the quiet renewal of the US-China Science and Technology Agreement in late 2024, significantly curtails opportunities for scientific exchange. As a result, countries like Singapore and South Korea are positioning themselves to attract researchers and foster new science hubs, potentially reshaping the global landscape of scientific cooperation.
