US lawmakers are increasingly focused on using tax policy to reduce American companies’ dependence on technology originating from China. This shift stems from a growing perception of China as an economic and national security adversary. Representative Nathaniel Moran recently described the US-China business relationship as “toxic,” urging American businesses to recognize Beijing’s adversarial nature. Lawmakers believe the current tax code incentivizes reliance on Chinese technology and are pushing for changes to disincentivize this practice. The move signals a growing concern over the security implications of relying on a competitor for crucial technology needs. This push aims to reshape economic ties with China, prioritizing national security interests through fiscal policy adjustments. The discussions are gaining momentum amidst broader debates on supply chain resilience and economic competition.
