🚨 The Chinese Foreign Ministry has accused a US congressional committee of reaching “near hysterical” levels in its campaign to suppress China, warning that such efforts will backfire. Spokesperson Mao Ning criticized the House Select Committee on US-China Strategic Competition during a Friday press briefing, stating its actions “will end up shooting itself in the foot.”
💡 The sharp remarks came after reports revealed the committee created a whistleblower system urging US academics to report research ties with Chinese defense-linked entities. “This isn’t about security—it’s about stifling progress,” Mao asserted, highlighting growing concerns over academic collaboration freezes.
🌐 Analysts suggest the committee’s email tip line could chill cross-border innovation at a time when global challenges demand cooperation. With US-China tech competition heating up, students and researchers worldwide are caught in the crossfire. 🔥
