The National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology has announced the introduction of agricultural bills aimed at enhancing biotechnology in the agricultural sector, with implications for federal and environmental policies. Concurrently, the BIOSECURE Act, currently a proposal, is already impacting U.S.-China biotech relationships. At the BIO2024 conference, it was observed that Congress' tough stance on China is chilling biotech collaborations between the two countries. The proposed bill intends to restrict American biotech companies from working with certain Chinese firms. Despite being only a proposal, the BIOSECURE Act is already influencing business dynamics in the biotech industry.
