House Panel Says Harvard Co-Authored 140 Papers With Chinese Military Universities as Bill Targets Funding

Summary
More than 140 Harvard-linked papers were co-authored with researchers at China’s “Seven Sons of National Defense,” a House Select Committee report said, casting the university’s research controls as a national-security risk.
The report highlighted 2023 work with Beihang University on soft robots for deep-sea exploration and another paper with the National University of Defense Technology on magnetic materials partly backed by the U.S. Army Research Office.
Harvard also received more than $600 million from China under federal foreign-gift disclosures, the committee said, and examined an executive-education program that listed officials tied to the sanctioned Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.
Rep. Pat Fallon introduced legislation to cut federal intelligence-related funding from colleges that keep ties to CCP-linked groups, while the committee urged Harvard to bar work with restricted entities and tighten centralized oversight.
