Abstract Since the end of 2018,scientific cooperation in emerging technologies between China and the United States has faced significant challenges.Quantifying the impact of political conflicts on scientific cooperation can help China's international cooperation in emerging technologies address international challenges.This paper empirically examines the impact of this external shock on China's international scientific research cooperation in emerging technologies based on the data of international scientific research cooperation in synthetic biology between 2009 and 2023,and empirically analyzes the effects of this policy through interviews and quasi-natural experiments constructed by the U.S.“China Action Plan”.The study also analyzes the mechanism behind the policy through interviews.The study finds that the direct impact of the“China Action Plan”on the number of collaborative papers between China and the United States is relatively limited,but it significantly reduces the academic quality and impact of the collaborative papers between China and the United States.The mechanism analysis shows that the“China Action Plan”reduces the academic quality of collaborative papers by restricting US-China cooperation in emerging technologies,and reduces the academic impact of collaborative papers by changing the overall environment of international cooperation.
