The third AAM policy recommendation as a new era in Washington begins.
The deterioration of US industrial bases brings serious risks in our economic welfare and national security, and share close relationships. The latest wake -up call is from the leaked US Navy Briefing slideWe have revealed that China’s shipbuilding capacity is 232 times larger than the US shipbuilding capacity. The meaning of this amazing estimate is War game exercise It is operated by the US House of Representatives Selection Committee on China. It predicts the loss of heavy American chart and submarine ships, and predicts that they cannot be recovered in the event of a dispute centered on Taiwan.
The unhappy but completely predictable reality we are now is responsible for the surprising economic and national security that experts have long warned by experts. That is.
in “Preparation for 21st century risks” The 2012 AAM Report, former Secretary of Land Security and Governor Pennsylvania, Tomridge, the United States, even in terrorism, cyber confusion, or pandemic due to offshore’s important manufacturing capacity. He warned that he was not ready. RIDGE’s report warned that foreign companies, such as China, could make the intentional choice of not supplying the products, materials, or technology necessary during the crisis.
One year later, the AAM report is the title “Remember to create American safety” Brigadier General John Adams of the United States Army (RET.) Has found that the U.S. military is overly dependent on imported ingredients, parts, and products used in defense. ADAMS presents 14 critical resources, input, and components related to components, including semiconductors and rare earth minerals, and present their recommendations to reduce these risks from extensive outsourcing. I did.
These warnings may have been heard, but we need to do more to prepare our country for future crisis. Such security concerns are no longer the academic exercise at the start of COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, US production was lost, indicating a wide range of supply chains due to dependence on foreign information sources. As our country is trying to support, the vulnerabilities in these industrial infrastructure are further expanded. Our allies Depending on weapons and materials, if the United States engages in a potential conflict with China over Taiwan, it creates potential issues.
Certainly, policy implementers are taking remarkable measures to strengthen important sector production capacity. For example, the inflation reduction method indicates funds and creates incentives. Domestic production Important minerals required for many military applications. Tips and Scientific Law paid a large down payment to the production process, a complex manufacturing process, which is essential for economic welfare and national security in the United States.
However, as recent investigations of the US shipbuilding ability have been demonstrated, we are deeply dependent on unreliable non -cooperative foreign sources throughout the industry. The combination of public investment to important sector must be the highest priority, in combination with the framework of industrial policy, which enables the United States’ economic and national security demands. If you do not deal with these clear vulnerabilities, our country will be in danger of not preparing for the next crisis.
Policy recommendation
1. We will start a new section 232 survey and protect US economic welfare and national security if the traditional trade relief tool is not enough to deal with the global overpower of the main sector. In addition, in order to guarantee that these important sectors are ready to respond to the demand of military and important infrastructure, the action of existing sections 232 related to steel and aluminum (due to product exclusion and national exemption) Strengthen narrow).
2. We will investigate China’s looting support 301 on Chinese marine, logistics, and shipbuilding sector. This imposes powerful response to the USTR to guarantee “urgent actions”, flatten the stadium, and activate US shipyards. In addition, Beijing will maintain and strengthen existing sections on China, which impose exclusive tariffs on cars and other important products that are trying to confuse the supply chain.
3. Infinitioning the federal support of the infrastructure project used for purchasing from China’s state -owned and supported companies, enhancing the application of existing lawyers, and closing such omissions. Masu. Transportation infrastructure and vehicle security method and Airport infrastructure vehicle security method.
4. In order to guarantee that taxpayers support tax incentives inadvertently do not make money inadvertently, in order to guarantee that they will not be inadvertently profitable to China and other foreign enemies Strengthen execution.
5. Incorporated into important infrastructure from China and other foreign enemies to expand the restrictions on existing “connected vehicles” and cover additional concerns such as buses, commercial vehicles, drones, and marine applications. Public hardware and software are certain, and the government and the government are in danger.
6. In order to guarantee that the acquisition of the federal procurement and defense supported by the US tax will guarantee the support of US companies and American workers, we will strictly enforce domestic content procurement methods such as American law.
7. The proposed defense contract is exempted as a means for domestic content preferences to promote trade in discussing the potential adverse effects on domestic industrial base and workers in discussions with US industries and labor. Make sure that the defense procurement agreement is completely evaluated to understand the potential adverse effects. Defense item.
