In this course, we will be considering US-China relations. Given our areas of expertise, there will be a significant amount of time spent on China, but we will also spend time discussing US-China relations. It is no longer controversial to state that China has now emerged as one of the most powerful economies in the world. Understanding China’s role in the global economy is absolutely crucial for understanding the shifting balance of power that is currently underway in the world. However, while the fact of China emergence as global economic powers is widely recognized, how the process has occurred is less well understood. And understanding US-China relations in the area of technology is crucial. Think Huawei in the world, think Apple in China, think ByteDance and TikTok in the US, think TSMC in Phoenix. We will use each of these cases to think through how the world’s two largest and most powerful economies will remain intertwined, grow together, and together help the world grow.
