Trump must protect American AI from China
Heritage Foundation analysis argues the AI race with China demands an updated export controls framework to limit China’s access to advanced AI chips and model weights. It urges a stricter regime, tying tech restrictions to a broader America First policy, with enforcement to slow Beijing’s AI progress while protecting U.S. edge, allies, and critical supply chains. The piece cites Pottinger and Vance, notes ongoing export controls, and highlights the CCP’s push to bypass limits via cloud access and shell companies.
