Arizona’s House of Representatives passed a bill on March 10 prohibiting the use of computer software and equipment from companies owned or controlled by the People’s Republic of China.

“In a world where the next war will be fought with technology as much as with troops, Arizona must stay ahead of the curve,” said Republican state Rep. Nick Kupper, the bill’s sponsor, and a 20-year Air Force veteran, in a statement.
