Letter from US congressmen to Jake Sullivan regarding SMIC
we would like answers to the following questions within two weeks:
2. In September Secretary Raimondo downplayed concerns about SMIC’s production to Congress, saying there is “no evidence” that it can produce these chips at scale. In October Secretary Raimondo said Huawei’s and SMIC’s capabilities are “deeply disturbing.” Please provide a classified briefing on what intelligence the Secretary viewed that changed her opinion.
Because a couple more million phones came out? Not exactly rocket science people…
