Competition between China and the United States is increasingly shaped by control over the technologies that sustain economic productivity, military capability, data power, and global standard-setting. Semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, telecommunications, cloud infrastructure, biotechnology, and rare-earth supply chains have become central to a broader contest over technological leadership and strategic autonomy.This panel invites contributions that analyse the political economy and geopolitical consequences of U.S.-China technology competition. Relevant themes include export controls, industrial policy, investment screening, technology transfer, cyber security, digital sovereignty, supply-chain restructuring, standards competition, and research security.
The panel particularly encourages work that moves beyond a purely bilateral perspective to examine how Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Southeast Asian states, Australia, and India are affected by—and shape—the emerging technological order.
