Moolenaar: Trump Administration Right to Close Loophole in America’s Export Controls

Select Committee Chairman John Moolenaar made the following statement on the Trump Administration’s decision to block the sale of export-controlled chips to Chinese companies located outside of mainland China: 


“Winning the AI race against China requires commonsense export controls that are strictly enforced. The Trump Administration is right to close this loophole—a Chinese company anywhere in the world is subject to the CCP’s national security laws, and it should never be able to get ahold of advanced chips that its parent company in China is legally prohibited from buying. My SCALE Act complements this action by creating a clear export control standard to help secure America’s technology edge in line with President Trump’s AI Action Plan.”
