Digital Globalization and China-US Strategic Competition
In March 2021,the new Biden administration proposed the American Jobs Plan to rebuild US infrastructure and create more American jobs.Notably,the plan juxtaposed China and climate change as the"great challenges of our time."It claimed that given China's"aggressive"investment in research&development(R&D),the US must adjust its strategic focus and build better infrastructures,including the digital infrastructure,to outcompete China.1 Apparently,"China"and"technology"have become the keywords in the US national strategy,and the US objective is to win over China in the technology competition.Laura Tyson,former Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisors,posited that based on many indicators,the Western-led globalization driven by trade is in retreat,while the new wave of globalization driven by digital technologies is increasingly led by China and other emerging economies.2 In 2021,the global digital economy bucked the sluggish economic trend and posted continuous growth,thanks to improving digital infrastructure and increasing global digital information flow.The US and China are the two key drivers of digital globalization,with the former enjoying the early-mover advantage,and the latter acquiring significant digital capabilities in its catchup process.
