In February, Maastricht University’s Roberta Haar and Hengyi Yang published a REMIT policy brief in Atlantisch Perspectief that suggests EU responses to the ongoing US-China rivalry in key technologies.
The authors comment: “We published a policy analysis article with Netherlands Atlantic Association’s journal Atlantisch Perspectief, in an issue themed Technology and Geopolitics. The primary aim of our piece is to foster a deeper comprehension of the geopolitical competition in strategic technologies between the United States and China. It does this through recounting Chinese and American prevailing attitudes and perceptions, which are shaped by recent events, and that, in turn, mold Chinese and American strategic approaches. Secondly, we strived to offer multilateral resolutions tailored for the European Union. The core of our approach focuses on passive learning and narrative construction. We hope that discourses and narratives can serve as effective avenues for resolution rather than causes of conflict.”
Abstract
In October 2023, the EU Commission identified four technology fields as critical: advanced semiconductors; artificial intelligence (AI); quantum, and; biotechnologies.[1] All four areas are greatly impacted by the U.S.-China rivalry in technology, making it essential for Europeans to understand the Sino-American competition. This article examines this rivalry from the Chinese and U.S. perspectives. It recounts their prevailing attitudes, which are shaped by recent events, and that, in turn, mold Chinese and American strategic approaches.
