A bipartisan investigation reveals that Chinese chipmakers purchased $38 billion worth of advanced chipmaking tools from the U.S. and allied nations, highlighting the failures in efforts to restrict China's chip manufacturing capabilities. Despite U.S. sanctions aimed at national security, inconsistencies in export rules have allowed non-American firms to supply Chinese companies, causing concern over national security and competition in the semiconductor industry. The report suggests implementing stricter bans on tool sales to China and enhancing coordination among allies.
