Episode 1: U.S. and China Geopolitical Competition

In this inaugural episode, we discuss technology competition between the U.S. and China, focusing on dual use technologies that have both military and civilian application. We discuss the recent Party Congress and Xi Jinping securing a third term, comments by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and recent comments by  Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Alan F. Estevez. We discuss the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) new export controls on advanced computing and semiconductor manufacturing items as part of a broader discussion on balancing U.S. national security technology concerns with fostering innovation, foreign investment, and collaborative research (particularly in the academic world).
