Will Technology Be a Source of Chinese Influence in Asia?

Please join AEI and the National Defense University's Institute of National Security Studies for the third in a series of seminars to examine the growth of Chinese power and influence in Asia. Panelists at this event will discuss the main characteristics of China's technological development and what effect it will have on the rest of Asia. Presenters and discussants will address questions such as: How quickly is China climbing the technology ladder? Will China become a technology developer and exporter over the next decade? If so, how might China differ from the United States and Japan as a technology provider? Will concerns about security and competitiveness limit Chinese access to foreign technology? Will China provide dual-use technology to governments and groups hostile to Western interests?

Information about the series and links to previous sessions are available here.
