The Expanding Red Flag: Pentagon's Blacklist Widens to Civilian Universities The Pentagon has expanded its blacklist of foreign institutions deemed a threat to US national security, targeting two of China's most prestigious civilian universities.
Fudan and Shanghai Jiao Tong University are the latest additions to the list, joining 130 other mainland Chinese institutions barred from collaborating with US Department of Defence funded researchers or using their equipment.
The expansion of the blacklist, created under the 2019 National Defence Authorisation Act, may seem routine at first glance.
