Congress must act to create a stronger system to stop the flow of technology that can aid Beijing’s military goals, according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.
“U.S. export controls toward China have expanded substantially, though they now face significant obstacles to enforcement” because China’s civil-military fusion creates a seamless flow of technology between its commercial sector and military establishment, the commission said in an annual report released this month.
The current restrictions on U.S. investments flowing to China’s tech sector are “insufficient to stem the flow of U.S. and foreign technology expertise and capital into China’s defense sector.”
