Trump Greenlights China Chip Export Amid Security Alarm
Liberty Check
The Trump administration has approved the sale of advanced NVIDIA H200 processors to China, drawing fire from constitutional conservatives and national security experts. The move directly contradicts warnings from the Justice Department, which recently labeled the illegal export of these same chips a threat to national security.
Lawmakers and foreign policy specialists argue these chips will supercharge China’s technological capabilities, undermining America’s lead and opening the door to military misuse.
- President Trump claimed strict conditions and a 25% payment to the U.S. would support American industry and jobs.
- Congressional voices warn these powerful processors will let China accelerate its military and surveillance apparatus.
- Just this week, DOJ busted a network smuggling NVIDIA chips worth $50 million to China, underlining security fears.
“Because the H200s are far better than what China can produce domestically, both in capability and scale, [Nvidia] selling these chips to China could help it catch up to America in total compute.”
“NVIDIA’s H200 chips are significantly better than anything Huawei can make. Allowing NVIDIA to sell these chips would be akin to a basketball player scoring a goal for the other team — on purpose.”
Prosecutors emphasized, “The country that controls these chips will control AI technology; the country that controls AI technology will control the future.”
Conservative Americans must demand accountability and consistent national security policy when it comes to safeguarding America’s technological dominance.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
