Congress Calls for Enhanced Export Controls and Quantum Leadership

The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission has issued a report urging Congress to take sweeping actions to counter China’s rapid development of dual-use quantum technologies and artificial intelligence. The report recommends a ‘quantum first’ goal, significant funding for US quantum development, and strengthened export controls on key technologies. The commission also highlights China’s aggressive expansion in space capabilities, which pose an escalating threat to US national security.
