Abstract

This chapter aims to put the challenges facing China’s globalizing technology companies in the context of the unfolding U.S.-China structural rivalry. Against the backdrop of a combination of the forces of globalization, dynamics of global competition and national innovation policy, as well as a relative weakening of U.S. innovation competitiveness in recent years, the chapter elucidates the geopolitical and geostrategic considerations that inform Washington’s efforts to constrain the global ambitions of China’s technology giants. With the United States and China inching perilously close to the brink of a Technology Cold War, the chapter concludes that unless and until both sides can find common ground through constructive cooperation in the realm of emerging technologies, China’s tech companies are bound to squarely remain in the crosshairs of geopolitics.
