Fellows Seminar Series | Invest, Acquire, Dominate: The rise and rise of China tech

In response to their experience of western colonialism, countries like China and India have sought to develop their own, indigenous and autonomous technology base. China, in the last 30 years, has succeeded in this endeavour, becoming a major manufacturing power and adopting policies to develop and market its own technologies. Such success, however, is not without critics. Developed countries, especially the US which is its principal trading partner, accuse China of serious breaches of international norms including IP theft, forced technology transfer, and the provision of state subsidy to domestic companies. Even as the US had initially sought to integrate China into the world order, today it is a strategic competitor.

In this paper Manoj Joshi says that “decoupling” of the US and Chinese economies, with its attendant disruption could have grave consequences for the global economy.
