Initiating Joint Chinese-U.S. Activities on Biological Safety and Global Health Security
Abstract
China is critically important to international health and biological
security efforts, yet awareness and implementation of biosafety and
biosecurity practices are inconsistent among life science researchers
and others working with pathogens and dual-use biotechnology in
China. In late 2012, the Committee on International Security and
Arms Control (CISAC) began development of a bilingual Chinese-
English biotechnology and biosecurity glossary. This reference
guide sought to map common conceptual understandings of
biosecurity and the impact of biotechnology on biosafety and
biosecurity, and to exchange information on U.S. and Chinese safety
and security regulations for high-containment laboratories.
