"Trying to hold China back is a fool's errand," she said in an interview. The $53 billion CHIPS and Science Act, which incentivizes U.S. firms to invest in semiconductor manufacturing and innovate in the sciences of tomorrow, "matters more than export controls."
President Biden has made industrial policy the cornerstone of the administration's economic revitalization and China competition strategy, and earlier this month boasted that the Chips Act and other related legislation amounted to "the most significant investment in America since the New Deal."
