Abstract

Export controls are playing an increasingly important role in the US government’s efforts to deny China access to critical technologies, and their far-reaching effects have already begun to reshape the global technology landscape. However, the Biden administration’s recently imposed export controls on China’s semiconductor sector have highlighted the challenges the US faces in securing the buy-in from allies that it needs to ensure their long-term effectiveness. The episode has also underscored some critical issues that allies have to confront in dealing with Washington as it pursues its sharpened technological goals vis-à-vis Beijing.
