Summary
This page from a House Oversight Committee report (Bates stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020506) details the political pressure exerted by the Chinese government on US university administrations regarding academic collaborations.

The document notes a deterioration in academic freedom in China since 2013, citing specific policy shifts and the termination of numerous partnerships in 2018.
