China's exploitation of Czech research raises security concerns

China is increasingly benefiting from research collaborations with European countries, particularly Czechia. Despite warnings from security agencies about espionage risks, some Czech scientists remain unconcerned about the collaboration, writes website Novinky.cz. The rise in China-funded research in Czechia, including projects in advanced technologies like quantum physics and AI, has sparked concern about the potential misuse of scientific findings for military purposes. Experts emphasize the need for stronger security measures and institutional resilience to mitigate these risks while maintaining diplomatic ties.
