Part of Dealing with China

Since January, American companies can apply for licenses to sell advanced AI chips, though not their most powerful, to buyers in China. Should these sales be allowed, or stopped?

Allow them. Sales keep China relying on American chips rather than its own, and a ban mostly hands buyers to Chinese chipmakers, even if Chinese labs get stronger chips sooner

Stop them. China can't yet make chips this good, and these would power its military and domestic surveillance, even though American companies give up billions in sales
