In the 21st century, there’s no bigger challenge to the US and the free world than China, and technology is the main battlefield. The Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping is obsessed with the semiconductor industry because it’s at the heart of our way of life.

Xi’s biggest fear is for the United States to have another Sputnik moment and commit to the equivalent of a moonshot. USICA is designed to do exactly that by taking the technological advantage away from China Inc. and returning it to the United States. Ensuring tomorrow’s technology is trusted technology that empowers free societies facing perpetual authoritarian threats. Read More
