Technological Crossroads: Transatlantic relations and the European Semiconductor Industry in a era of Sino-American rivalry

HCSS

NOTE: This is an in-person event held at the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies.Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything—from missiles to microwaves, smartphones to the stock market—runs on chips. Until recently, the West designed and built the most advanced chips and used control over computing power to maintain its military edge. Today, however, China, which spends more money each year importing chips than it spends importing on oil, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the West, and using this to build a military that threatens Taiwan, the beating heart of the digital world. At stake is America&#x27;s military superiority and economic prosperity. However, Europe has also found itself caught up in the technological Sino-American competition focused on semiconductors, with the Netherlands now confronted with choices on which technologies it should and should not export to China. These choices will have clear implications for transatlantic relations. American Author <a href="https://www.christophermiller.net/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chris Miller</a> will address these key questions: How has China&#x27;s investment in chip-building initiatives impacted its military capabilities and its relationship with Taiwan? How has the technological competition between China and the United States affected Europe, particularly in the semiconductor sector? What choices does Europe face regarding technology imports and exports from China?The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies is excited to host Chris Miller as the third speaker of the <a href="https://hcss.nl/event/transatlantic-dialogues-with-aaron-l-friedberg/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Transatlantic Dialogue</a> series, organised together with the Embassy of the United States in the Netherlands, that looks at how the relationship between Europe and the United States can be adapted to the geopolitical realities on the 21st century.Chris Miller is author of Chip War: The Fight for the World&#x27;s Most Critical Technology, a geopolitical history of the computer chip. He previously wrote three other books on Russia, including Putinomics: Power and Money in Resurgent Russia; We Shall Be Masters: Russia&#x27;s Pivots to East Asia from Peter the Great to Putin; and The Struggle to Save the Soviet Economy: Mikhail Gorbachev and the Collapse of the USSR.
