Research which needs to be a secret already is treated as such, so there’s no real benefit to adding further restrictions. Trade control is a useful tool, which is also already used where applicable, and researchers have observed that trade restrictions (high wall, deep moat, etc.) don’t necessarily produce the desired effect. For example, see Deepseek and compute restrictions. In general, science, research, technology, and coding benefits from open-sourced collaboration based on the nature of how activities in these domains are conducted. IMO, scientists and researchers would benefit from worrying less about the distractions of politics, unless they’re explicitly told not to share secrets. Great ideas and work can come from anywhere.
