Scientific and Technological Flows Between the United States and China
Abstract
Scientific and technological competition has emerged as a front on which strategic competition between the United States and China is contested. Scientific and technological dominance the prize of this competition has been recognized as a national priority by high-level leadership from both countries. This dominance can be attained in two primary ways: A country can rely on its domestic scientific and technology innovation resources and activity, or it can leverage foreign scientific and technological assets. This study focuses on the second approach. Specifically, this study will investigate three types of flows between the United States and China: the inflow of U.S. technology inputs into Chinese military technology, the bilateral movement of scientific researchers between the United States and China, and scientific collaboration between U.S.- and China-based researchers. The research reported here was completed in January 2023 and underwent security review with the sponsor and the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review before public release.
