China’s communist regime is pouring billions into SMIC to beat American tech—and Biden’s weak policies are letting it happen. Huawei just unveiled advanced semiconductors made by SMIC, proving U.S. sanctions failed. While Washington slept, Beijing built a chip giant ready to challenge TSMC and Samsung.
SMIC was created in 2000 with one goal: steal semiconductor dominance from the West. Funded by China’s military-industrial complex, it’s now the regime’s crown jewel. Forget free markets—this is state-sponsored cheating on a massive scale. American taxpayers foot the bill for our innovation while China copies and undermines.
SMIC still trails TSMC and Samsung in cutting-edge tech, but it’s closing the gap fast. Thanks to unlimited CCP money, they’re rolling out 5nm chips critical for AI and weapons systems. Meanwhile, U.S. companies like Qualcomm and Apple keep lining Beijing’s pockets by outsourcing production. Globalism sold out American workers to build China’s war machine.
The White House thought tariffs and export bans would stop SMIC. Instead, China hacked our playbook. They’re smuggling Western tech, reverse-engineering designs, and bribing executives. Sanctions? More like speed bumps. Biden’s team can’t even track where our high-tech exports end up. It’s like putting a padlock on a screen door.
China’s chip surge threatens national security. Every SMIC factory is a potential spy hub—imagine microchips in military gear with hidden backdoors. Yet woke corporations still partner with SMIC to save a few bucks. Short-term profits over patriotism. When the missiles fly, will shareholders defend Taiwan?
Tariffs alone won’t fix this. We need a total decoupling from China’s tech sector. Ban U.S. firms from using SMIC. Bring manufacturing home. Slap 50% tariffs on all Chinese semiconductors. No more coddling Beijing while they plot our downfall.
The left mocks “America First” policies, but look where globalism got us. SMIC’s rise proves China plays for keeps while we debate pronouns. Real leaders don’t negotiate with dictators—they crush threats. If we don’t act now, the next Cold War will be fought with chips stamped “Made in China.”
Freedom isn’t free, and neither are semiconductors. Either we wake up and dominate this industry again or surrender to a future shaped by communist silicon. The clock’s ticking. SMIC isn’t just making chips—it’s forging the shackles of our dependence.
