Description
Summary:Nowadays, the field of information and communication technologies has become a determining factor in economic development and global leadership. Under the current system of global governance, the United States is the main beneficiary, being the world’s center for the development and production of innovations. Over the past few years, China has been claiming this role by creating alternative pro[1]ducts and promoting them abroad. The US and China compete for technological leadership by exporting technology and establishing their influence in the global market. One of these export destinations is the region of Southeast Asia, which unites the developing countries of ASEAN As part of this paper, the authors analyze the technological competition between the United States and China using a theoretical tool in the form of the theory of cascade development and the theory of technology diffusion. The article considers the technological competition between the US and China as an opportunity for the US to maintain its leadership in the field of technology, and for China to reach a new level of technological development and increase its influence in global governance. As a quantitative assessment, the authors use a network analysis technique to determine the intensity of competition and visualize data in the field of trade in value added and high-tech goods.
