A top House Republican is taking steps to tighten restrictions on China's access to advanced U.S. technology in response to concerns over intellectual property theft. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., has introduced a bill aimed at preventing situations like China's development of DeepSeek using American technology.
Green emphasized the need for safeguards, citing reports that China may have utilized chips below the current export control threshold to advance its AI capabilities. He warned that giving China leeway could lead to further exploitation by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), known for its disregard of legal and security norms.
