*The statute does not restrict individual involvement based on citizenship or nationality. Rather individuals are subject to the restriction if they are affiliated with institutions of thePeople’s Republic of China orChinese-o1wned companies incorporated under the laws of China. Thus, a team member who is a Chinese citizen may work on a NASA project, but an individual affiliated with an institution of the Chinese state will be subject to the statutory restriction.
