An Urgent Call to Close the Loopholes on Chips and China
Briefly

The article emphasizes the importance of technology leadership for the U.S. in the context of rising aggressors like China. It argues that while advanced American technology has historically solidified America’s economic power, recent failures to effectively curb China's access to U.S. semiconductor technology highlight significant vulnerabilities. Despite U.S. attempts to limit sales to Chinese firms, China is using loopholes to advance its own technology, particularly through initiatives like RISC-V, positioning them to diminish reliance on the West and develop indigenous advanced technologies for strategic sectors including military applications.
Advanced technology made in the United States did more than just put an American on the moon, it also solidified our economic foundation.
Chinese tech giants like Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei have invested heavily in RISC-V research and development, looking to exploit this back-door access to western open-source technology.
