The U.S.-China science and technology relationship is being violently remade. While a tightly linked technology system benefited the United States and China over the last two decades, there is now widespread concern on both sides of the Pacific that the security risks outweigh the gains. President Xi Jinping has accelerated policies designed to increase the innovativeness of the Chinese economy and reshape the global internet. The Trump administration has pushed back against Chinese technologies policies and threatened punitive measures if China does not cease the theft of intellectual property from American companies. After a short lull, Chinese hackers are once again targeting US technology companies, and in response, Washington has launched a new wave of indictments of Chinese hackers.  This contest brings new risks and opportunities. The end result may be two distinct technology systems, with other countries forced to choose if they are going to plug into American or Chinese technology platforms and standards. To put these topics into context, we welcome distinguished speaker, Dr. Adam Segal, the Ira A. Lipman chair in emerging technologies and national security and director of the Digital and Cyberspace Policy Program at the Council on Foreign Relations.  This event is sponsored in part by a U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant for The Ohio State University’s East Asian Studies Center and Fisher College of Business Center for International Business Education in partnership with the Columbus Council of World Affairs.   The Boathouse at Confluence Park (679 West Spring St. Columbus, OH 43215) Department of East Asian Languages and Literature deall@osu.edu America/New_York public
