Instead, efforts to harness control of digital technologies will be the new global race—and one that the West simply can’t afford to lose.” And yet, the West is at risk of “being trapped in a steel conflict, which bears virtually no relevance to the economic order of tomorrow. It’s all worse than stupid. It’s tragic, too. The only likely victor in all of this is China.”
