United States Passes Legislation to Restrict Advanced Semiconductor Technology Exports to China

The US Congress approved legislation including the BIOSECURE Act, which bars Chinese biotechnology companies from federal contracts. The FIGHT China Act codifies restrictions on US investments in prohibited technologies including semiconductors and AI.

The United States and its allies are taking increasingly aggressive measures to address China technological progress. The BIOSECURE Act passed through the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, barring Chinese biotechnology companies from federal contracts. The FIGHT China Act codifies restrictions on US outbound investments into Chinese companies involved in prohibited technologies including advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. These legislative efforts aim to limit China access to critical technologies and resources. Rare earth and critical minerals supply chain security has become a major focus for US policymakers. Semiconductors and artificial intelligence remain at the center of bilateral competition between the two nations.
