Time to ditch communist China's technology, or else

The “CHIPS” Act is aimed at increasing American manufacturing of semiconductors. Failure to pass this bill would be an enormous victory for China.
Mike Pompeo is a Fox News contributor, former U.S. secretary of State, and former director of the Central Intelligence Agency. He is a distinguished fellow at the Hudson Institute.
Semiconductors are key to the United States maintaining its technological edge now and for decades to come. The strategic landscape in this critical technology area has been shifting to our disadvantage for far too long. Less and less cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing in America and ever more semiconductor capacity inside China risks making the world subject to coercion by the Chinese Communist Party, especially given Beijing’s military threat to the democratic island of Taiwan. The CHIPS Act is our first major opportunity to reverse this dangerous strategic disadvantage and decouple this industry from China’s influence.
Beyond national security, semiconductors are found in electronics that every American uses in their daily lives, from cell phones to cars in addition to advanced military systems. Our dependence on hostile nations for these critical wafers will, much as dependence on Russian energy has done for Europe, risk catastrophic outcomes for all of us here in America.
