Exclusive-US lawmakers renew concerns about GenScript's ties to China

(Reuters) -The U.S. House of Representatives committee on China on Tuesday sent a letter to the directors of the FBI and national intelligence, renewing its concerns about GenScript Biotechnology's work with U.S. companies, given its ties to China. In the letter, which was seen by Reuters, committee chair John Moolenaar and ranking member Raja Krishnamoorthi asked for updated intelligence and law enforcement information involving the global biotechnology company and affiliates Bestzyme, Legend and ProBio. Last year, the lawmakers asked for a similar briefing on whether the Chinese Communist Party had influence over GenScript's operations and its role in advancing China's biotech capabilities.
