U.S. Decoupling from China May Backfire, Experts Warn

🔥 The U.S. Congress is pushing a wave of bills aimed at reducing economic ties with China — but critics say these moves could hurt America more than help. From biotech to drones, here's why experts call it a 'self-sabotage' strategy.

🧬 Cancer Research Caught in Crossfire

A proposed bill targets five Chinese biotech firms, banning them from working with federally funded U.S. entities. These companies help American doctors identify cancer-causing genes and manufacture lifesaving drugs. 'Disrupting these partnerships could delay clinical trials and raise drug costs,' industry leaders warn. Imagine halting cancer breakthroughs over politics. 😮

🚁 Grounding DJI Drones: Security or Overreach?

Another bill seeks to ban drones by China's DJI — which controls 70% of the global market — citing 'national security risks.' Critics argue the move could spike costs for U.S. farmers, firefighters, and filmmakers who rely on DJI's affordable tech. 🔍 'Where’s the evidence?' ask privacy advocates, while Rep. Elise Stefanik insists it's about 'protecting data.'

💸 The Cost of Economic 'Self-Goals'

The 45-year U.S.-China Science and Tech Agreement now hangs in limbo, threatening joint climate and AI research. 🧪 'Decoupling isn’t a strategy — it’s a lose-lose,' says analyst William Jones. With bills risking supply chains and innovation, young entrepreneurs and researchers fear collateral damage. Could America’s tech race turn into a stumble? 🏃♂️💨

🌐 As tensions rise, one question lingers: In a connected world, can any nation truly go it alone?
