    Abstract

    The US-China relationship is probably the most important bilateral diplomatic relationship in the world. From a policy of “engagement” with China first begun by President Nixon in 1972, the United States now sees China as a “peer competitor”. In a recent statement, Biden stressed that although the US is not looking for conflict with China, it will “compete vigorously” with China.

    A key dimension of the US’ global competition with China over the coming decades will be tech and economic focused in nature, especially the struggle for the leadership of core emerging technologies with national security implications like AI, semiconductors, and 5G. To maintain their technological lead, export bans, scrutiny of supply chains, and “friend-shoring” look like dominant themes of this tech competition in the coming decades. For instance, China recently banned the exports of core solar panel technologies to maintain its technological lead and market share in this sector.

    Will this US-China tech competition affect Southeast Asia countries? To what extent will Southeast Asian countries need to adapt their foreign and economic policies to mitigate the effects of the tech competition and the broader geopolitical rivalry between the US and China? This webinar brings together experts and policymakers from Indonesia and Vietnam to assess the effects of this rivalry on their respective countries. In doing so, the goal will be to draw comparisons of the approaches taken by both Southeast Asian countries, assess the effectiveness of current approaches, and facilitate discussions on this important topic.
