Here are a couple links to a source for you. It is the second of the three amendments purposed in the first link. You can click on the amendment to see the actual text of it. The second link should link you to the video of Rubio in session talking about how the amendment was killed. Rubio's site is the first google result for "democrats block amendment to keep china from receiving chips funds". https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=5712EBB1-680F-4144-BA13-C91A036905FF https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases... https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=81741F0B-454A-466A-81F5-AA3ED98F8A08 https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases...

This is not at all what those right wing "news" articles are talking about. For one thing, this is Rubio. Wrong senator. Another thing, did you read his amendment? This is again, nonsense posturing by people disinterested in the truth. Read his amendment vs the original. The original literally says the Secretary of Defense decides what legacy semiconductors are which aren't protected by the act. His amendment makes congress play a role in that decision in addition to the Secretary. That's it. It adds no meaningful protections. Unless you think the Secretary of Defense is a Chinese spy.
