“We’ve seen action, real action, concrete action, where the government in Beijing has started to cut off the flow of precursor chemicals and taken action against the Chinese companies that were involved,” Burns said, adding that since then We focused on the need for technology. Export restrictions.
“We are never going to allow the People’s Liberation Army to acquire our most sensitive technologies so that they can compete with us militarily. We are also not going to allow these advanced semiconductors or We will not compromise on any other technical restrictions we have introduced,” he added.

Xie suggested that the U.S. government’s characterization of China as a “compete” (a term used by the U.S. State Department to describe some areas in which the two countries are involved) is akin to “containment.” .
“Improving and stabilizing bilateral relations would be out of the question if we view the other country as a major competitor, a ‘threat to slow down’ and a target for containment,” he said.

“We need to decide who should be at the table,” he said. “In the case of the United States, it’s obviously government representatives, but it also includes representatives from the private sector, where much of the expertise in artificial intelligence resides.”
The Pentagon’s announcement, released just hours after Burns and Xie’s meeting, highlighted improvements in bilateral relations in the military field.
