Strategic Annual Report 2021 "Expanding Battles over Techno-hegemony between the United States and China"

The battles over techno-hegemony between the United States and China are continuing and seem to be expanding. The United States and China are competing not only for technological superiority in emerging technology fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum technology and hypersonic technology, but also for supply chains in critical technology fields such as semiconductors and information and communications equipment. Moreover, value-based differences over technology and data act as centrifugal forces that further separate the United States and China.
