The Great Decoupling and the Sino-U.S. Race for Technological Supremacy

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  

Organized by Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations in collaboration with the Financial Times, Nikkei Asian Review, and Tech Scroll Asia

Live Webcast

Can't make it to this program? Tune in Wednesday, October 16, at 6:30 p.m. New York time for a free live video webcast. Viewers are encouraged to submit questions to moderator@asiasociety.org or via Twitter by using the hashtag #AsiaSocietyLIVE.AsiaSociety.org/Live

After nearly 40 years of engagement, a "great decoupling" is underway between the United States and China. A focus on strategic competition is undermining bilateral links built up over decades in trade, investment, education, and other areas. If the current trend toward superpower estrangement is carried to its conclusion, it could tear the world apart. But which side — the U.S. or China — is better placed to prevail as trade and tech wars rage? Is China set on an unstoppable course toward technological dominance? 

The event will include a panel of eminent experts on technology and U.S.-China relations as well as an Oxford-style Great Debate featuring top columnists, editors, and reporters from the Financial Times and Nikkei Asian Review. 

Tech Scroll Asia is the essential weekly newsletter from the Financial Times and Nikkei Asian Review, offering deep and exclusive insight into Asia’s technology sectors. Start reading at ft.com/asia-tech.

Please note that only the panel discussion will be webcast live. The Great Debate will not be available for viewing online.

 

On October 17, 2019, the Financial Times and Nikkei Asian Review convened an event on the same topic at UC Berekeley in partnership with the Berkeley Haas School of Business and Asia Society Center on U.S.-China Relations.To view a recording of the program go here.
