Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen Institute (TBSI) (Chinese: 清华-伯克利深圳学院) is an institute which was established in Shenzhen, China in 2014 according to an agreement signed by Tsinghua University, University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), and the Shenzhen government.[5] In 2018, the city of Shenzhen agreed to spend $220 million on the institute.[5]
The purpose of the establishment of the institute is seeking to develop a research program that will enable the sort of complex, multidisciplinary collaborations necessary to successfully confront societal and economic challenges that will be faced in China and United States as well as those on a worldwide scale.[6]
In July 2023, the United States House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party initiated an investigation into TBSI and its research into dual-use technology.[7]
