Signal US de-risking hardens into 'small yard, high fence' technology controls on China

Summary

Since the Biden administration the United States has pursued a de-risking strategy to stop advanced technology from leaking to China. The de-risking stance first declared by the European Union toward China has broadened into a foundation of overall US strategy toward China. The report characterizes it as a 'small yard, high fence' approach that walls off narrow areas and aims at full decoupling within the technology field. China, for its part, keeps working on its own military technology innovation and supply chains. The report places this contest within its wider account of how new technologies will transform the military domain.
