The Conception and Practice of Biden Administration's Science and Technology Innovation System in the Digital Era:An Examination Centered on Digital Platform Anti-Monopoly
The antitrust legislation and enforcement surrounding large digital platforms have sparked intense legisla-tive debates and opposing views within the United States(US).The debate revolves around the legislative goals,prin-ciples,and conceptions of US antitrust laws,focusing on whether antitrust legislation promotes or hinders innovation in the US,and whether innovation stems from market incentives or systemic innovation networks.The rapid development of the digital economy has led to the emergence of new forms of goods,capital elements,and modes of production,pos-ing an unprecedented challenge to the current US antitrust doctrine based on consumer welfare.Building upon the frame-work of the New Brandeis School,the Biden administration views anti-monopoly measures against digital platforms as a core step to promote and drive innovation.By continuously strengthening the federal government's research and devel-opment budget and the intensity of anti-monopoly enforcement,the administration seeks to play a leading and regulatory role in the national innovation ecosystem.The Biden Administration's antitrust fight is directed at"Critical Trading Part-ners"that can(and have)had a profound impact on the digital economy market order.
