China's race to global technology leadership
Last December the Chief Financial Officer of the leading
Chinese telecommunication company Huawei was travelling from Hong Kong to Mexico when she was arrested while
changing flights at Vancouver Airport by the Canadian authorities acting on an extradition request from the United States.
Meng’s arrest and detention are a significant development in
China-US relations, marking a dramatic change in the relationship between Beijing and Washington.
The current trade war between the US and China looks like a
small element in a much larger contest over world leadership in
which China plays the part of the ascending challenger that seeks
to upset the existing balance of power. China’s weapons of choice
are technology and innovation: it is making a frontal assault on
the US in a sector that has traditionally been America’s forte.
