Abstract

Since the 2010s, the Chinese government has formulated powerful industrial policies that have not only contributed to China’s industrial upgrading but also triggered the US-China conflict. The US has promoted technological decoupling over China through (1) strengthening export controls, (2) formulating the Critical and Emerging Technologies Strategy, and (3) implementing its own industrial policy. In response, China has strengthened its industrial policy in three aspects: (1) strengthening its innovation system so that independently developing cutting-edge technologies, (2) accelerating the commercialization of cutting-edge technologies, primarily in the manufacturing sector, and (3) implementing a new high-tech strategy called “new quality productive forces.” In this presentation, I will overview the latest trends in China’s industrial policy and look ahead to the future of the high-tech competition between the US and China.
