"U.S. senators offered legislation on Wednesday that would require national security reviews of major Chinese gifts ... to U.S. universities... The measure, an amendment to a broad bill seeking to boost U.S. competitiveness with China, would require the federal government's Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to review grants and contracts from China whose value exceeds $1 million. The broad bill could come up for a vote in the Senate as soon as this week."

U.S. senators hope limiting such reviews to China alone would ease concerns in academia that reviews of foreign funding could threaten research.

The next edition of my International Prospect News will go out to subscribers tomorrow morning, as it has on a (more-or-less) regular basis since 2012. In tomorrow's newsletter, I will talk about China's upcoming data privacy legislation, philanthropy in Asia, current global real estate trends among UHNWIs, and more. I also will invite you to join me for coffee in Maine, Florida, or California this summer. You can sign up to get your copy of the newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/egEeBu5

Thank you to APRA Illinois for inviting me to participate in The Hot Seat, an interview “series in which prominent industry experts answer grueling questions stemming from prospect research to consulting to analytics.” I was asked questions about global networking, international prospect research resources and training opportunities, and three common challenges that come up regularly in my training and consulting work with prospect development professionals and fundraisers.
