Commentary


President Donald Trump’s forceful use of export controls on high-end, dual-use semiconductors to contain the Chinese Communist Party’s technological ambitions is one of the most important national security achievements of his first term. Export controls are a national security tool that restricts the technology that corporations can sell or transfer to American adversaries.

In a long-overdue answer to China’s predatory industrial policies and unfair trade practices, the first Trump administration pioneered the use of these tools to counter China’s efforts to dominate critical technologies and further devastate U.S. industry.

Less than 100 days into his second term, the president has already begun building on this legacy to continue protecting America’s national and
economic security.

Strong Export Controls Make Communist China Squirm

Strong export controls on these advanced semiconductors make communist China squirm—a clear sign that they are effective. China has resorted to desperate attempts to intimidate the United States from persisting in Trump’s export control policy.

In 2023, during then-Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo’s “
good will tour to China,” Huawei released a smartphone featuring a homegrown Chinese microchip that seemingly subverted U.S. attempts to limit China’s chipmaking technology. This deliberately timed stunt was clearly intended to persuade the U.S. to abandon aggressive export controls. It didn’t work—semiconductor industry experts quickly deduced that China’s chipmaking abilities were still years behind the cutting edge, and that China’s ability to scale up production of high-end chips remained limited. The entire episode was a vindication of the Trump administration’s approach.

China’s tech industry similarly attempted to intimidate Trump as he took office for his second term. The
Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek released its R1 AI on Trump’s second inauguration day, just before he announced a landmark $500 billion investment in U.S. AI infrastructure. DeepSeek published technical papers disclosing a small part of their development costs, leading to a false media narrative that DeepSeek had figured out how to match or surpass cutting-edge U.S. AI giants with just a fraction of their capital and technological requirements. The narrative devastated U.S. tech stocks and sparked a $1 trillion loss in the U.S. stock market.
