千山暮雪Proposed US rule barring China science collaboration sparks outcry from US scientists_我的网站
A |  The proposed Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rule, set to take effect in December, would mark one of the biggest overhauls of US science funding in decades, giving political appointees greater authority over grant awards previously guided by scientific peer review and requiring that they "advance the President's policy priorities," according to the Washington Post. It would also effectively expand the 2011 Wolf Amendment, which bars scientists from using NASA funding for bilateral collaborations with China, to all federal agencies and scientists receiving federal funds, marking the largest break in US-China scientific engagement in decades, the US media outlet reported. So far, the proposed rule has garnered nearly half a million public comments, many from scientists and leading US science bodies. A Washington Post analysis of 50,000 of those comments found that around 88 percent were negative. The rule, initially set to take effect in October, was pushed back to December after a bipartisan stopgap funding bill temporarily halted its adoption. Unlike the Wolf Amendment, the rule does not require congressional approval to take effect. "I do think there are still members of Congress who think we have a monopoly on knowledge. They think we're still in the Cold War Soviet era ... where we were ahead in most areas of science and technology. That is not the case with China. We are no longer the leader in many areas of science," said Tobin Smith, senior vice president for government relations and public policy at the Association for American Universities, which advocates on behalf of leading US research universities, per the Washington Post. Scientists warn that the rule risks subjecting long-term scientific research to four-year political cycles. "We will not succeed if with every new administration we are ping-ponging back and forth about priorities," the American Association for the Advancement of Science said in a blistering comment, urging the administration to withdraw the rule. "Fast-tracking such profound changes ... hands an easy victory to nations like China," it said, the Washington Post reported. This reflects a fundamental divide between the US government and the scientific community over how science should develop, Wang Yiwei, a professor at Renmin University of China's School of International Studies, told the Global Times. He noted that politicians tend to believe that suppressing China as a competitor would allow the US to preserve its market dominance and technological edge. Scientists, however, tend to follow a different logic, as scientific progress depends on openness, exchanges and collaboration. If science and technology are driven solely by competition and private capital, with the ultimate goal of maintaining technological monopolies, this could create greater risks and ultimately undermine US interests as well, Wang said. The proposed rule change is the latest salvo in a broader battle in Washington over how to respond to China's rise as a scientific superpower. In July, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) also moved to ban collaborations between scientist it funds and many Chinese research institutions and their employees, according to Science magazine. Liu Shaoshan, director of the Center for Embodied AI at the Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Society and a former US-based researcher, told the Global Times in a previous interview that the NSF's new proposed rules created a "talent wall," arguing that restrictions based on nationality, institutional affiliation, and research partnerships could reduce the global talent pool available to the US, weaken its ability to attract leading scientists, and slow scientific innovation. Liu also said scientific advancement relies not only on discovery but also on the exchange, validation, and dissemination of knowledge. Wang also said China has built significant strengths through its vast pool of scientists and engineers, complete industrial chains and massive application scenarios, while increasingly moving from application-oriented innovation toward original research. Against this backdrop, US technological blockades and restrictions on cooperation are unlikely to halt China's progress, but could instead isolate American scientists from China's latest research and collaboration opportunities. Such an approach could also prevent the two countries from leveraging their respective strengths and ultimately undermine US competitiveness, Wang said. 。 国庆节假期，全省各地纷纷开展丰富多样、精彩纷呈的文旅活动，加大优质产品和服务供给，做大做优“山海有情 天辽地宁”旅游品牌，持续拉升辽宁文旅市场人气热度。携程、美团等多家平台预订数据显示，10月1日至4日，我省旅游接待规模位列全国前十，文旅消费规模位列全国第十一位。 据统计，截至10月4日15时，国庆节假期第四天全省共接待游客855.8万人次，同比增长12.3%，实现旅游综合收入53.1亿元，同比增长13.2%；国庆节假期前4天全省共接待游客3266.8万人次，同比增长19.8%，实现旅游综合收入217.9亿元，同比增长21.6%。 全省7家5A级旅游景区4日当天接待游客22.31万人次，同比增长5.09%，实现旅游综合收入1949.08万元，同比增长0.63%；前4天累计接待游客75.08万人次，同比增长16.86%，实现旅游综合收入6457.16万元，同比增长11.9%。 连日的好天气让本溪枫叶红得愈发绚烂。本溪市重点景区均迎来今年以来最大游客量，关山湖风景区在原有野人谷等互动表演持续火爆的基础上，引进国内首家150米“空中魔网”；天龙洞开展满族快闪秀、满族婚礼迎亲仪式，让游客感受满族特色魅力。 在锦州，以“畅游山海 欢庆华诞”为主题的古塔游园会及“古塔好市”非遗、美食、文创市集精彩呈现，古塔光影秀、水幕音乐喷泉等让人流连忘返。北镇第二届闾山旅游节精彩开幕，登山赛、巡演秀令游客目不暇接，沉浸式体验“镇山福地 丰饶北镇”。 阜新推出精选线路，带大家领略海棠山的红叶盛宴、乌兰木图山的秋日壮景、黄家沟的丰收喜悦与德力格尔草原的辽阔无垠。
