During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Representative Matt Gaetz questioned Google CEO Sundar Pichai about the company's AI research center in China and its potential benefits to the Chinese military. Gaetz contrasted Google's willingness to work with Chinese universities with its refusal to continue "Project Maven" for the U.S. military. Pichai denied direct collaboration with the Chinese military, characterizing their work in the region as limited and open-source.

The CEO of Boeing, speaking on C-SPAN, highlighted the disparity between U.S. and Chinese infrastructure, noting China's plan to build over 50 airports while the U.S. has none planned. He also identified the Chinese J-20 stealth fighter as a significant new competitor in the global defense market. This contradicts 2009 predictions by Defense Secretary Robert Gates that China would not have operational stealth aircraft until 2020.
