A Quantitative Evaluation of the US Science and Technology Competition Policy toward China
Science and technology competition is a core area of the"game"between China and the US in this new era.Furthermore,science and technology policy is a bellwether of the government's science and technology behavior.There-fore,this study explores the internal connections of the US science and technology competition policy toward China,which has become a normalcy according to the evaluation and analysis of relevant US policies undertaken,so asto help China take the initiative in the new round of this competition.Using the policy modeling consistency(PMC)index model,text mining,and policy sample analyses,we collected policy documents from sources such as the US President's Project,US legislative information website,and various US government administrative department websites.Subsequently,we con-ducted word frequency analysis.Based on the results of this analysis,we constructed a PMC evaluation system for the US science and technology competition policy toward China.A stratified sampling method was employed to extract policy samples,followed by text mining and analyses to derive the PMC index for the samples.Finally,in conjunction with the PMC surface plot,we conducted an evaluative analysis of the policy samples,which clarified the Boyd cycle-like strategic operating system used in the US-China science and technology competition.This study provides strategic recommenda-tions for China to address the new era of this competition,focusing on three aspects:awareness and early warning systems for technological competition dynamics,mechanisms of the rapid response to technological competition incidents,and the dynamic assessment system for technological competition situations.
