US-China Science Agreement: A Long-standing Collaboration for the Betterment of Humanity

The US-China Science Agreement, signed in 1977, has facilitated scientific cooperation between the two countries for over 44 years. This agreement, up for renewal at the end of August, has been instrumental in various collaborations that have benefited not only China and the US but also the entire world. Researchers have worked together on health issues, pollution, and other critical areas, resulting in studies that have improved the lives of people globally. Despite current tensions and hostilities, the agreement provides a framework for collaboration on issues beyond just bilateral interests, emphasizing the importance of global cooperation in science and technology.
