China Exploits $2.5 Billion Pentagon-Funded Research, House Report Says

Hundreds of projects involved collaboration with Chinese entities, including ones that are blacklisted, according to the report

The Biden-era Department of Defense (DOD) funded hundreds of research projects involving Chinese universities and institutes tied to China’s military industry, including ones already on U.S. government blacklists, a congressional investigation has found.

The 80-page report, released on Sept. 5 by Republicans on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, identified about 1,400 research papers published between June 2023 and June 2025 that acknowledged Pentagon funding or support, while also involving collaboration with Chinese entities.

More than 300 Pentagon grants were connected to these studies, and over 700 projects were conducted with institutions affiliated with China’s defense research and industrial base, the report said.

The collaborations, valued at more than $2.5 billion, covered “sensitive” research domains such as artificial intelligence, hypersonics, quantum sensing, semiconductors, and advanced propulsion systems. Many of them, according to the committee, have “clear military applications.”

Republicans said that these partnerships have allowed China to exploit U.S. taxpayer-funded research to modernize its own military forces.
