Stop Funding Our Adversaries Act of 2023

# Stop Funding Our Adversaries Act of 2023 - Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would prevent federal agencies from funding or conducting research in collaboration with China's government, the Chinese Communist Party, or entities controlled by either. The ban would apply whether funding is direct (money given straight to Chinese entities) or indirect (support channeled through other means). **Who it affects:** The bill would impact U.S. researchers, universities, and federal agencies that currently collaborate with Chinese institutions or receive federal research grants.

It would also affect any Chinese government-related entities that participate in U.S.-funded research projects. **Current status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress (2023-2024) by Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) but remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill has not advanced further at this time.
