National security and global health experts are growing increasingly concerned.
The cause of the concern is that China could be the first to develop a vaccine for COVID-19.
Trump has been adopting an increasingly hardline stance toward Beijing says Busines Insider.
The US could be at a major disadvantage if China comes up with a vaccine first and decides to limit access.
However, many other countries fear the US will be the first to find a vaccine and will charge a fortune for it.
Some experts see the COVID vaccine development between the US and China are a 'race to the moon.'
Being the first to develop COVID treatments and vaccines could be a point of national pride.
