We lost a million Americans and trillions of dollars of value, and that\u2019s a way we go on the offense with China.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>McCormick called for a decoupling of the American and Chinese economies in \u201c<span>critical industries that are significant strategically\u201d\u00a0<\/span>to lessen U.S. dependence on Chinese manufacturing <span>for\u00a0<\/span>pharmaceutical products and semiconductors. He included artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing as two other realms requiring government-industry partnerships for the purpose of competing with China.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe absolutely need to have a whole-of-nation strategy [towards China],\u201d he determined. \u201cI\u00a0 think there are four things we need to do.\u00a0 T<\/span><span>he first thing is absolutely decouple in critical industries that are significant strategically. \u2026 Our pharmaceutical supply chain is dependent on China, but also semiconductors. Semiconductors are at the core of everything, and 90 percent of the world\u2019s semiconductors are manufactured 90 miles from mainland China. A<\/span><span>\u00a0terrible set of strategic decisions led to that point.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The U.S. should construct domestic microchip manufacturing plants \u2014 called \u201cfabs\u201d \u2014 as part of a strategy to economically decouple from China, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cWe have to bring those [industries] home. There are steps to do that. \u2026 We need to build fabs in the United States and around the world, and we need to double down on that effort. That\u2019s critical [to] be not dependent on China or Taiwan for our semiconductors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCormick said the U.S. must implement industrial policy to compete with China\u2019s mercantilist framework.<\/p>\n<p><span>He remarked, \u201cThere are other key industries as well \u2014 a<\/span><span>rtificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing \u2014 we need to bring those home, and that\u2019s going to require the government to partner with industry to accelerate that, because in China\u2019s case, they\u2019re deeply invested in these industries and that\u2019s why they\u2019ve grown so quickly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><em>Breitbart News Daily broadcasts live on SiriusXM Patriot 125 weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David McCormick, a Republican candidate running for the U.S. Senate\u00a0to represent Pennsylvania, said on Thursday\u2019s edition of SiriusXM\u2019s Breitbart News Daily with special guest host Matt Boyle that China should<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1386963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1386963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1386963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1386963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1386963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1386963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1386963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
