U.S. Intensifies Economic Security Measures Amidst Escalating Technology Competition with China
The U.S.-China technology competition is driving the United States to implement sophisticated economic security tools beyond traditional tariffs. These measures include export controls, investment screening, and sanctions, as detailed by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). The focus is on critical technologies such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and quantum technologies. The U.S. aims to rebuild domestic production capacity and strengthen coordination with allies to counter China's technological advancements. This strategic shift is a response to the increasing weaponization of trade and investment, energy security concerns related to AI, and the rapid evolution of advanced technologies. The CSIS is offering a two-day course to provide government, policy, and industry professionals with a comprehensive understanding of these geostrategic and geoeconomic factors.
