Scrapping AI Export Controls Is Self-Defeating

Aaron Ginn's op-ed 'China's and America's Self-Defeating AI Strategy' (Aug. 6) mischaracterizes the purpose and effectiveness of export controls. The policy was never intended as a brick wall but as a strategic speed bump—one essential tool among many for maintaining America's lead in artificial intelligence while limiting China's military capabilities. The controls on Nvidia's H20 chips appear to have been working until CEO Jensen Huang's lobbying secured a reversal that handed Beijing exactly what it wanted. DeepSeek's founder admitted that the chip controls were his company's biggest constraint. As AI's compute demands soar, export controls allow America's hardware advantage to deliver compounding benefits. Reversing course cedes those gains to China.
