U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) joined The Story with Martha MacCallum on Fox News to discuss the importance of biotechnology to America’s national security and how the United States is locked in a competition with China on biotech.
Today, the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology released a report to Congress that encourages prioritizing biotechnology to maintain U.S leadership over China, encourage American manufacturing, and secure our supply chain resiliency. Young is the chair of the Commission.
“What we outline in the report that we released today is that biotechnology is a critical sector with national security and economic competition implications, and the Chinese are indeed catching up,” said Senator Young. “China is investing heavily in biotechnology, and the U.S. cannot afford to get left behind. Our dangerous dependence on China for our most critical supplies makes us vulnerable. We need to promote American innovation and manufacturing in biotech to end China’s global supply chain grip.”
