Meeting the China Challenge: A New American Strategy for Technology Competition
Report of the Working Group on Science and Technology in U.S.-China Relations
Is China or the U.S. ahead in artificial intelligence? What is the best way to counter security threats in 5G technology? How do we best maintain American leadership positions in fundamental research and biotechnology?
A new policy report on Meeting the China Challenge: A New American Strategy for Technology Competition is the culmination of over a full year’s deliberation and study by the bipartisan Working Group on Science and Technology in U.S.-China Relations. It sets forth broad policy objectives as well as specific recommendations for the new U.S. administration in four domains of science and technology: fundamental research, 5G digital communications, artificial intelligence and biotechnology.
About the Working Group:
The Working Group is organized by the Asia Society Center on U.S.-China Relations and the 21st Century China Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy. It operates under the auspices of the Task Force on U.S.-China Policy. It comprises twenty-eight leading experts on China and science and technology issues from the academia, industry and think tanks in the U.S. and is chaired by Dean Peter Cowhey, a leading technology policy expert.
