“The future of Taiwan should be a matter for the Taiwanese to choose through democratic means. But in recognition of the possible risks, we must continue to onshore critical national security assets, such as chip manufacturing.”

“Last Congress, I introduced the Combatting Communist China Act, which would address U.S. supply chain dependence on China, prevent Chinese theft of intellectual property, and hold the Chinese government accountable for fentanyl trafficking.”

“Andy also succeeded in passing a law that cuts off American investment into Chinese military, surveillance, and technology companies.”

“Compute Controls and “Know Your Customer” Requirements: We don’t sell nuclear centrifuges without knowing the buyer. Similarly, chip access must be regulated and traceable on national and international markets.”

“International Public Cooperation and Governance Boards: We should negotiate a US-China treaty to pause and ban superintelligence, modeled on the Cold War deal in which Reagan and Gorbachev eliminated a class of nuclear missiles through inspections. A verification board would count chips and data centers, a scientific panel would share threat assessments, and a 24-hour hotline would flag incidents. Access to American chips and cloud services should be conditioned on signing and complying, and we should tighten chip export controls now.”

“Protect national security amid innovation: Pass legislation to enforce and strengthen export controls to keep advanced AI chips out of the hands of adversaries who would use them against us.”

“I believe in bringing dignified, well-paying jobs to Michigan. That means investing in the research, development, and growth of the technologies of the future while using tools like tariffs in a steady, thoughtful, and targeted way to protect them as they grow.”

“He fought to pass the CHIPS and Science Act, which will onshore semiconductor production, help us outcompete China, and create jobs right here in New Hampshire.”

“While we must insist that China play by the rules when it comes to trade and intellectual property, we must also recognize that our shared futures are better when we cooperate with each other for the benefit of all of our people, rather than compete in a zero-sum arms race that makes all of us less safe.”
