Danny and Derek welcome back Kevin Klyman, researcher at Harvard University’s Belfer Center, for a discussion of the technology arms race between the US/EU and China. They discuss China’s role as the leading hi-tech manufacturer in the world, de-risking and export controls, the CHIPS and Science Act, the dynamic with Taiwan and its semiconductor industry, the advent of AI and quantum computing, and more.
Check out Kevin’s two recent pieces on the matter: "The EU joins Washington's campaign to contain China" in Just Security and "The US wants to make sure China can't catch up on quantum computing" in Foreign Policy!
E101 - Semiconductor Kind of Life w/ Kevin Klyman
Thank you so much for this discussion, I found it very helpful. I couldn’t find enough discussions or interviews with Kevin on other platforms so I hope you will do a few more segments on this topic of Semiconductors or technology in general with him. Many thanks
I agree with Mali, this was a super fascinating discussion and I found Kevins points and answers super easy to follow and clear
