Two senior House Republicans urged the Biden administration to strengthen the enforcement of export controls on sending advanced computing chips and the machinery required for their production to China.
In a letter dated Oct. 6 and addressed to national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) of the House Foreign Affairs Committee conveyed that existing U.S. export controls and related policies regarding Chinese tech companies are ineffective. They pointed out that these firms are able to exploit loopholes, resulting in significant advancements in chip technology that pose a national security risk.
