House Republicans have initiated an investigation into Harvard University, alleging that the institution has connections with China, particularly regarding partnerships with Chinese Communist Party members and military-related research. Lawmakers, including Representatives John Moolenaar, Tim Walberg, and Elise Stefanik, expressed concerns over national security risks. They accused Harvard of using Department of Defense funding in collaborations that could bolster China's military capabilities. Harvard has acknowledged the receipt of the request and is expected to respond. The investigation seeks to uncover details on the university's collaborations and safety measures in research related to organ transplantation with China.
Moolenar alleged a 'disturbing pattern that puts U.S. national security at risk.' The investigation will hold Harvard accountable to the American people.
House Republicans stated that Harvard researchers partnered with China-based individuals linked to military advancements, raising concerns about national security and research collaboration safeguards.
In a letter to Harvard, Republican lawmakers requested information on safeguards regarding research collaborations related to organ transplantation with China-based researchers.
Harvard's spokesperson confirmed the receipt of the letter and stated the university would respond to the Chairs' demands.
