In this paper, we focus on the impacts that the trade war between China and the United States brough to the global economics especially for some high-tech industries from countries all around the world and use a specific case study on CATL to explain how hard for a Chinese High-tech corporation to build their factory in the United States. The trade war between these two countries have made lots of significant issues to the global world. We considered this trade war from several perspectives. In this passage, we focused on eight impacts that the trade war will bring to the global economy and most of them are related to high-tech industry. Impacts that included in reducing high-tech global supply chain, decreasing technological innovation, moving technological center from China to Vietnam etc. The trade war, in some way, become a tool to stimulate the technological innovation from bilateral countries.

“…The West feels that MIC25 does not provide a level playing field to foreign businesses. They feel that China through large subsidies, domestic industry protection, policies that enable the purchase of technology and IPR from abroad (USTR, 2017a), policies that force foreign firms to transfer technology to access Chinese markets (Prud’homme, 2019; Qin, 2019) and reforms that violate WTO commitments are encouraging this (Branstetter, 2018). Such a policy would eventually make companies that have already set shop in China lose business to the Chinese companies because of the ‘self-reliance’ and ‘technological competitiveness’ developed by them as a result of the incentives provided by MIC25.…”

In the last 70 years, due to reforms and policies, China has moved from an agrarian economy to being a manufacturing superpower. However, this has been possible due to technology transfers into China with the core technologies remaining with the West in the name of competitiveness and national security. To achieve true technological independence and self-reliance, China proposed the ‘Made in China 2025’ policy in 2015 which has since been opposed vehemently by the West. This notwithstanding, China has continued its effort of self-reliance. Hence, it is essential to evaluate if these efforts are bearing the required results. Using qualitative research, the authors look at the factors leading China to adopt ‘Made in China 2025’ and the opposition faced by it through tariff and non-tariff measures. Various supporting policies of Made in China 2025 (MIC25) and the advancements made have been examined. The article thus aims to address the ethos of initiating MIC25, the difficulties China is facing in realising its dreams due to restrictions by the US and its allies and how China is making an all-out effort to make it a success. The primary question that the article aims to answer is whether the efforts of China towards MIC25 are poised for success and how it will affect the developed nations.

“…finally, a separate goal of the Tech War is limiting China's "unfair" trade and economic practices (atkinson and ezell, 2012;Nakayama 2012;Shim and Shin 2016;Gewirtz, 2019;manning, 2019;Gewirtz, 2019;Qin, 2019;Kim et al 2020;Capri, 2020;u.S. Department of State, 2020).…”

The technological war, or Tech War, as part of the geopolitical conflict between the United States and China raises a range of questions for researchers, the most important one being the role of digital technologies and markets in international relations and world politics. The article studies the motives and objectives of the Tech War and its long-term effects using available academic literature on sanctions and research data on the digital economy and high-tech markets, including the political aspects of the U.S.-China rivalry. Analogues from the Cold War and other conflicts suggest that the economic purpose of the Tech War is to limit China’s capacity in the long term. However, the new realities transform both the instruments and goals of the traditional superpowers’ economic withstanding. The importance of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the rise of the digital economy have made traditional geopolitical and market (commercial) dimensions of the conflict intertwined with high technology seen as a strategic resource and a separate area of conflict. As for the role of digital technology in world politics, a reverse process is observed: its importance is growing due to the traditional (geo)political factors, including securitization of the digital sphere, enhanced by the narratives of new technological revolutions. These factors increase the intensity of the Tech War since competition in high-tech markets is perceived as a zero-sum game. However, in the long term, the globalized, highly internationalized nature of digital markets and technologies may lead to the normalization of global processes and world politics.
