A bipartisan US congressional committee is investigating whether Merck, AbbVie, and three other major pharmaceutical companies conducted clinical trials in China that may have supported Chinese military capabilities. The inquiry focuses on due diligence, data protection, and trial locations, including sensitive sites like Xinjiang and military hospitals. Lawmakers have requested detailed documentation by July 17. The probe highlights rising US-China tensions over scientific research and national security risks related to biomedical data. The companies have responded cautiously, with Merck emphasizing ethical standards and others withholding comments.
