This testimony addresses Chinese technology policy and the role American innovation has in the relationship between the two. The author argues that while the long-term impact is uncertain, the US must push back against Chinese manufacturing power with increased investment and stress on innovation in order to maintain its comparative advantage. He concludes that as long as the US keeps an open and flexible culture and a web of institutions, attitudes, and relations that move ideas from the lab to the marketplace, it can prosper and play a dynamic role in the new world of globalized innovation.
