Decisions about exporting our most advanced AI chips shouldn’t be made unilaterally behind closed doors. This bill reasserts Congress’ authority and ensures that any such transfer to the People’s Republic of China is subject to full scrutiny. Our national security demands a deliberate and lawful process, not ad hoc deals that risk handing over our technological edge to the PRC.AI Verified source (2025)

The quote directly addresses a bill on exporting advanced AI chips, says it 'reasserts Congress’ authority,' and treats transfers to the PRC as a national-security risk—matching the policy of giving Congress power over/blocking such exports to an adversary.

The quote backs the bill because it says it "reasserts Congress’ authority" over exporting advanced AI chips and subjects transfers to the PRC to "full scrutiny," which supports giving Congress the power to stop such exports.

The quote is authentic. The official House Select Committee on the CCP Democrats press release dated August 22, 2025 contains the exact three-sentence text verbatim and explicitly attributes it to Ami Bera: “said Congressman Bera.” ([democrats-selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov](https://democrats-selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/media/press-releases/krishnamoorthi-bera-introduce-legislation-require-congressional-approval-sale))

Verified. Quote (2025) by Rep. Ami Bera (D-California). The House Select Committee on the CCP source returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, but search results from that press release confirm the exact wording: Bera stated, "Decisions about exporting our most advanced AI chips shouldn't be made unilaterally behind closed doors. This bill reasserts Congress' authority and ensures that any such transfer to the People's Republic of China is subject to full scrutiny." The statement was made on introduction of the No Advanced Chips for the CCP Act of 2025 (co-led with Rep. Krishnamoorthi, Aug 2025). Author attribution accurate. Vote alignment is correct: Bera supports requiring congressional approval to block AI chip exports to adversaries, consistent with a "for" vote on the statement. Year (2025) is recent.
