The U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on the Strategic Competition with China claimed that China either buys or steals American technology—whenever possible, it buys, and whenever it can, it steals! On April 25, the committee stated that we fully endorse President Trump’s commitment to safeguarding America’s technological leadership advantage. The Chinese practice of learning from and exploiting U.S. artificial intelligence technologies constitutes a "direct threat." We will continue taking action to curb China’s dominant practices in technology extraction and model replication.

Protecting America’s advanced AI computing resources and ensuring fair competition for American innovation enterprises. As demonstrated in our report titled "Buy if You Can, Steal if You Must," China acquires high-end chips through "smuggling channels" and replicates cutting-edge U.S. AI models through systematic operations. We must defend America’s leading position in artificial intelligence. Clearly, from America’s perspective, our AI development is built upon the foundation of “buying and stealing” U.S. technology, and they regard us as a direct threat.

Undoubtedly, this argument put forth by the United States is utterly absurd. This rhetoric fully reveals that, in pursuit of technological superiority, the U.S. simultaneously imposes chip embargoes on us while smearing our development. How dare they still claim to be engaging in fair competition? If the U.S. truly pursued fair competition, why would they mobilize national power to suppress our entire semiconductor industry? In truth, the U.S. has never intended fair competition—it is determined to establish its own technological hegemony at all costs.

Now, seeing our rapid progress in artificial intelligence, the U.S. grows increasingly anxious, forcibly labeling us as “thieves” and engaged in “unfair competition.” However, such character assassination tactics will never stop China’s technological advancement. In fact, even if the U.S. now wants to sell us high-end chips, we may not necessarily accept them. For us, core technologies must remain firmly under our own control. Our foundation for AI development must be built upon our own chip technology. U.S. suppression will ultimately only yield a stronger competitor.
