President Joe Biden's race against China in the technology space is picking up pace amid speculation a key independent federal agency is planning on banning U.S. sales of new devices from two Chinese companies.
The potential action matches Biden's talk about the challenges China's own technology prowess poses to the U.S. economy and the country's national security amid Russia's war on Ukraine.Reports the Federal Communications Commission is preparing to prohibit U.S.
For Packard, America's previous position could best be defined by"we're just going to run faster than China," contending it worked for a while because"our technology is better" and China's economy is not infallible. But Kilcrease, a former deputy assistant U.S. trade representative, downplayed the quick succession of"tough on China" developments as a coincidence.
For Meserole, the Huawei, ZTE, and chip prohibitions build on ones Biden has imposed for products made in Xinjiang, the autonomous region where China is allegedly infringing the majority-Muslim Uyghur population's human rights. Biden has also added companies to the Commerce Department's"Entity List," which is basically a blacklist for U.S. firms, but Meserole called the latest measures"by far the most consequential.
But for Kilcrease, a onetime White House National Security Council aide, it is important to note what actions Biden is not taking, namely"any sort of direct economic engagement or discussions with China."
