Strategic competition between democratic states and authoritarian powers now runs through technology, trade, and the institutions of the global economy. Nowhere is this strategic competition sharper than in the US-China technology competition, where advantage in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and standards-setting carries direct security consequences. This hub examines that contest and its transatlantic dimension: how Washington and Brussels can coordinate on export controls and industrial policy, how China leverages market power and state support, and how big tech firms sit at the crossroads of commerce and national security. Fellows and analysts assess the tools of economic statecraft, the reach of industrial policy, the design of export controls, and the role of big tech in national security, along with the openings for allied cooperation in the US-China technology competition. Explore expert analysis and commentary on strategic competition and the policies that will determine who sets the rules of the digital economy.
