Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy discusses how the establishment is responding to the Trump admin's shakeup in Washington, D.C. and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy firing back at'swamp creature' Hillary Clinton. FIRST ON FOX: A top House Republican is moving to make it harder for China to procure advanced U.S. technology amid longstanding concerns about intellectual property theft by Beijing. "My proposed legislation will establish safeguards to prevent future shocks like China's development of DeepSeek using American technology. In addition to the chips China reportedly stockpiled, it appears China used chips under the current export control threshold to achieve this AI breakthrough," House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital. "This scenario should be a wakeup call -- if you give the CCP an inch, it will take a mile. The CCP's craftiness is coupled with a total disregard for legal and security considerations. We already know that the CCP uses technology to oppress its own citizens and to commit acts of espionage and sabotage against the United States, including major cyberattacks."

Former Director of National Intelligence joins'Life, Liberty & Levin' to discuss the Biden administration's foreign policy approach China is using high-end technology to oppress its own citizens and even erase its own history, which is why the U.S. needs to put tough restrictions on the export of artificial intelligence and other technology to Beijing, according to a lawmaker who has a bill designed to do just that. Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital that China has managed to use technology to erase national awareness of the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, when hundreds and possibly thousands were killed and many more injured. "Despite the historical importance of Tiananmen Square, most people in China do not even know the massacre occurred," Green said. "This is because the CCP scrubbed these events from its heavily censored internet and has kept it out of books and out of school. Using its advanced technology, the CCP has erased its own history."

According to the proposal, the purpose of the restrictions would be to bolster the U.S.'s national security -- after all, AI has many potential military uses, so why would the U.S. want to put that technology in the hands of nations such as China or North Korea? Silicon Valley opposes these AI export restrictions for a few reasons, according to the NYT's story. Perhaps most obviously, they could hurt American companies and help foreign ones. By limiting where companies such as Amazon and Google could sell their AI services, the restrictions would damage those companies' bottom lines. They'll also leave open a market gap that other nations, such as China, could fill.
