Techno-Geopolitics: Us-China Tech War and the Practice of Digital Statecraft
Techno-Geopolitics explores contemporary U.S.-China relations and the future of global cyber-security through the prisms of geopolitics and financial-technological competition. It puts forward a new conceptual framework for an emerging field of digital statecraft and discusses a range of key issues including the controversies around 5G technology, policy regulations over TikTok and WeChat, the emergence of non-traditional espionage, and potential trends in post-pandemic foreign policy.
Analysing the ramifications of the ongoing U.S.-China trade standoff, this book maps the terrain of technological war and the race for global technological leadership and economic supremacy. It shows how China's technological advancements not only have been the key to its national economic development but also have been the core focus of U.S. intelligence. Further, it draws on U.S.-China counterintelligence cases sourced from the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to explore emerging patterns and techniques of China's espionage practice.
A cutting-edge study on the future of statecraft, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of international relations, security and intelligence studies, information technology and artificial intelligence and political science, especially U.S. foreign policy and China studies. It will also be of great interest to policymakers, career bureaucrats, security and intelligence practitioners, technology regulators, and professionals working with think tanks and embassies.

Quick read! i particularly enjoyed the historical-institutional development of china's panoptic statehood, with its origins from the Song dynasty.
i appreciate the framing of smaller states as "swing states", in the context of how US's Huawei 5G ban was received by other states. main takeaway: tech wars are just another manifestation of big power rivalry to compete for who can rewrite the rules of world order, and their principal arena for competition is neither the China nor US market but the world market outside.
my only gripe is that many of the key points were cited back to the author's own research articles.
