Last week, I testified before the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee on the state of the U.S. technology and innovation sector and what that portends for the nation’s strategic competition with China. This week, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) will hold a hearing to, once again, discuss…
, American companies’ submission to Beijing’s predatory demands on our data weakens American economic competitiveness, individual and national cybersecurity, and broader national security to the degree that this capitulation enables China’s technological ascendance over the U.S.
Second, we must help allies understand that a strategy of “regulate first and ask questions later,” will hurt—not help—all of us and risks ceding the advantage to Beijing. Other governments, particularly those in the European Union , are enacting laws that deliberately target American innovation companies, preference domestic champions, and threaten to splinter the internet itself into a series of “mininets.
Finally, domestic debates about technology and innovation must be constrained by facts and by geopolitical realities. Every institution and industry must be held accountable to U.S. law and national security concerns cannot be wantonly employed as a “get out of jail free” card.
Ultimately, our national defense has become more dependent on the private sector than ever before, precisely as China is emerging as a true-peer competitor not just technologically, but economically and militarily. Western tech companies and the U.S. government must recognize that long-term interests of both are better served through national security partnerships.
This uniquely American advantage may well be decisive in an era of escalating geopolitical competition. It would be reckless to give it away.blog and is reprinted with kind permission from the American Enterprise Institute
