Chips, Apps, and U.S.-China Competition

Trade competition between the United States and China raises fundamental questions: What forms of trade, investment, and commerce should the United States allow? What should it limit? Which goods can and should America produce at home? How can the U.S. government cooperate with partners, whose firms are often commercial rivals of U.S. firms, in “friendshoring” or other approaches? Should the United States try to constrain China? How? Could that work?

On April 2, 2024, the Center for the National Interest hosted Rob Atkinson and Jamil Jaffer to discuss “Chips, Apps, and U.S.-China Competition.” Paul Saunders, the president of the Center for the National Interest, moderated the discussion.
