Many East Asian countries, including some U.S. allies, have refused to choose between the United States and China, writes @proflind.bsky.social. “But under bipolarity, the luxury of choice is not one afforded to small countries in a superpower’s backyard.”

China’s “smart authoritarianism,” alongside a massive innovation push, led to its rapid rise from technology copycat to leading innovator. But Xi’s tightening grip may stifle innovation and growth, writes @proflind.bsky.social.

The US is trying a "high fence around a small yard" approach to tech controls on China. Will it work? @proflind.bsky.social and Mastanduno argue that the lessons from the Cold War's CoCom suggest a tough road ahead, with risks to alliances and long-term effectiveness. tnsr.org/2025/09/hard...
“CoCom did not prevent the USSR from accessing key technologies. The current regime is similarly porous, and China is a more adept target.” quote from ". . . CoCom’s Lessons and the Challenge of Crafting Effective Export Controls Against China" by Jennifer Lind and Michael Mastanduno
