In the United States, TikTok is facing a potential ban while prestigious firms such as BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey are being aggressively questioned in Congress about their China policies and partnerships with the Chinese state. In China, on the other hand, the balance between welcoming international business and national security concerns has tilted decisively in favor of the latter. It is clear it will be increasingly difficult for U.S. businesses to invest in and trade with China and vice versa.
In a number of countries key to the future of the global economy—Singapore, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia—the situation is very different. These countries are trying to steer a middle course and maintain relationships with the two superpowers, benefitting from the technology and global influence of both. But can such an approach remain viable in the long-term as both the United States and China try to develop key standards for the technologies that will drive the future?
Join our panel of experts for a one-hour session where they will discuss the way the China–United States rivalry will play out across key regions in the world in the next decade, and how companies and countries alike can navigate the opportunities and challenges that will arise in the commercial sphere.

Lee Chair in U.S.-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School; Alice Shone, associate managing director at K2 Integrity; and Niklas Ponnert, managing director and chief strategy officer at eWTP Arabia Capital Management.
