US-China tech war is a battle for world dominance

In the last two decades China has undergone a major development from a poor country producing low value factory products to a leading power when it comes to some of the most advanced technologies in the world: electric vehicles, solar cells, advanced materials, artificial intelligence.

This development started to worry the United States and in 2018 the Trump-administration initiated the first sanctions against Chinese technology by prohibiting US agencies from using any services from the Chinese tele giant Huawei.

And since 2020 export of so-called semi-conductor chips to China from the US has been increasingly subject to restrictions. The aim is to slow China’s technological development especially in defense technology and artificial intelligence.

We often hear about the tech-war from a Western perspective but how is it understood and dealt with from China’s side?

That’s the subject of this podcast.
