Chris Miller, author of Chip War, analyzes the uneasy technology truce between the United States and China, arguing that the pause in tensions is not a sign of lasting cooperation but a strategic opportunity for both sides to strengthen their positions. While Beijing continues to expand its influence in advanced manufacturing and critical supply chains, Washington is increasingly focused on maintaining its lead in artificial intelligence and advanced computing.
Miller explores how China views its dominance in sectors such as batteries, electric vehicles, and industrial production as a long-term advantage, while the United States is betting that breakthroughs in AI will deliver economic, technological, and national security benefits. As both governments pursue different paths to global leadership, he argues that the coming years will test whether manufacturing capacity or AI innovation proves to be the more decisive source of power in the evolving competition between the world’s two largest economies.
