The Geopolitidzation of High-Tech Industry Competition
The global power shift and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have stimulated competition in high-tech industries.Relevant studies have found that technological change and intensified industrial advantage competition have become the focus of great power rival-ry,and"techno-geopolitics"has become a new feature of global technological competi-tion.In order to maintain its dominant position in high-tech industry,the United States has combined technological competition with geopolitical strategy,resulting in a more compli-cated relationship between technological competition and geopolitics.The"geopoliticization"perspective of the critical geopolitical paradigm aids in analyzing the interplay between these two trends.In fact,technological relations are coupled to the global production system with geographical rationality and the international power system,and this"dual coupling"leads to the competition in high-tech industries through market forces and strategic factors.As the great power competition intensifies,the United States has adopted geopoliticization measures to transform the market-oriented high-tech industry competition into a position struggle in the technological power space.The geopoliticization of market scope in the renewable energy industry,technical standards for artificial intelligence and position in the global semicon-ductor value chain have disrupted global industrial geography and exacerbated uncertainty in international economic relations.
