(21-16) The Future of US-China Competition for Technological Hegemony : Analysis on the Global Strategies and its implication for the South Korean Strategy

With intensifying US-China strategic competition, technology has been the critical arena for the great power competition for global leadership of the future world. Especially, under the spread of the perception that emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be central to future economic growth and military competition, contribute to the condition whereby US China strategic competition’s ‘technology-security-values’ are closely intertwined in a complex competition. In addition to this US China technological competition and increasing competition to form technology alliances, global concerns of potential bipolarization of the world order and the economic decoupling are rising.  

US China Technological Competition is not simply an issue between two superpowers but affects the whole world. Each state in the world, depending on differences of system and diplomatic relationships, has different perceptions of Chinese technology and the competition between the US and China for technological hegemony. This research draws upon the participation of prominent regional professionals and scholars to provide a comparative analysis as the foundation for understanding the future outlook on the world’s perceptions of and strategies for the future. In the conclusion, this study analyzes the policy implication of comparative analysis on the different countries’ strategies toward the US China tech competition. It also suggests the South Korean national strategy regarding the US China tech competition and the role of National Assembly.
