China has made it abundantly clear that it intends to dominate the technologies that underpin both our economy and our national defense. The United States cannot afford to leave open back doors that allow the Chinese Communist Party to acquire the tools it needs to leap ahead in semiconductor manufacturing. I introduced the MATCH Act to ensure that America and our allies move in lockstep to close these gaps, defend our technological edge, and safeguard the supply chains that power everything from our weapons systems to our critical infrastructure. This is about protecting American workers, American innovation, and American security for the long haul.
