News analysis: Analysts: China's tech investment push could be derailed by systemic woes

摘要

China is doubling down on its plan to infuse money into its technology sector as it seeks to overtake the United States in emerging technologies, but the government's development of priority technologies, as laid out in a new policy paper, could face headwinds stemming from Beijing's approach to innovation, analysts said. Beijing's domestic strategy to advance its technology sector has been a central consideration in many trade actions the Trump administration has taken against China. For instance, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative's report on its Section 301 investigation into Chinese trade practices repeatedly referenced the "Made in China 2025" initiative, while the Commerce Department has leveraged its export control regime to target Chinese telecommunications giants Huawei and ZTE.
