Time to ‘cut off’ US outbound investment in China biotech firms like BGI Group and Wuxi AppTec: House panel

The hearing held by the House select committee on competition with China came after a Senate committee voted 11-1 on Wednesday backing a companion bill prohibiting US federally-funded institutions from contracting with certain biotech providers in China.
