A Republican lawmaker is calling for the U.S. government to accelerate plans to establish rules on exports of critical technologies to China, while expressing a “deep concern” at the current rate of the regulatory rollout.
“While our regulatory process moves slowly, China is sprinting ahead to acquire critical technology by any means necessary,” U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a letter to Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, seen by Reuters and dated Oct. 18.
