Exploring the Competition and Technological Decoupling between the US and China: A Case Study of the Digital Silk Road and the EAEU States – new book chapter by L.M. Sokolshchik and E.Z. Galimullin
Lev Sokolshchik, an associate professor of the School of International Regional Studies and Leading research fellow of the Centre for Comprehensive European and International Studies (CCEIS), and Eduard Galimullin, an research fellow of the CCEIS published a book chapter in the Routledge Handbook of Chinese and Eurasian International Relations.
The chapter explores the possible implications of US-China technological rivalry for the EAEU region in the near future. The results show that although both sides lack the resources to gain full control over EAEU member states, China is in a better position to compete. Russia's deteriorating relations with Western countries and its pivot to the East provide additional arguments in favor of China's possible technological dominance in the region. Beijing has strengthened its position in high-tech industries, but it needs to counter U.S. attempts to undermine the competitiveness of its technology companies. Thus, the growing rivalry between the US and China appears to be a factor that will shape the framework of the multipolar world order 2.0.
Overall, the monograph focuses on China's political and economic interests in post-Soviet Eurasia, the Middle East, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and the Arctic, and also examines in detail China's relations with the United States, Russia, the EAEU, NATO and other international players.
The materials about the book were published on the website of China Daily, as well as on the official portal of the International Political Science Association (IPSA).
