I don’t see any clear evidence that Biden’s, (or Trump’s), policies trying to stifle China’s technological rise has worked at all.
China is now producing 5th generation fighter jets (and soon engines). 6th generation is in the works and rumors suggest China may be ahead in this area.
Chinese chip manufacturers are down to 5-7nm process already.
Their AI companies, including Kling, are world-class.
Chinese drones and EV manufacturers dominate the world.
What is US policy achieving here? Since 2017, the US has added restriction after restriction on China and China has continued to narrow the gap or pull ahead.
It is my humble opinion that US policy is flawed because focuses on holding China back when it should focus on promoting domestic talent and fostering innovation at home.
Not referring to a single specific thing - meant as an analogy, that when you time's over, your time's over.
That said, the UK did had some diverse initiatives to catch up/retake the US lead, one central aspect of which was the so-called "Imperial Preference" (an old colonial system which despite the prevalent in the UK lessez faire attitude, was revamped in the late 19th/early 20th revamped as a way to combat US foreign trade encroaching), the Ottawa Conference, various subsidies for development and education, the Loan Act voted sometime around the 1929 crisis, etc.
It will be interesting how this plays out.

It will have as much effect as some British effort circa 1900 to make the UK dominate tech one again over the US would have.
Never heard of this. Do you have an sources I can read?

Thank you for this. I will read up on these initiatives.
