Sherrod Brown:
Export controls: deny China access to U.S. technology
China poses a real and growing threat to our national security. Perhaps nowhere is that risk more acute than with the development of advanced technology. China has used advanced technology--much of it stolen from the U.S., some of it sent there through
corporate outsourcing--to ramp up its military modernization and build a mass surveillance state that commits deplorable human rights violations, including the detention of millions of Uighurs in Xinjiang.Addressing these threats from the
Chinese government, and improving our domestic capability to compete with China, have been a top priority of this Committee. Five years ago, we updated the laws that govern our export control and inbound investment screening programs.
Export controls can be used to deny China and others access to U.S. technology that they could use to undermine our national security. We have made export controls a central feature of our national security and foreign policy.
