U.S. officials are worried that the Chinese internet giant, ByteDance, may use information collected from apps like TikTok against Americans. For the last 50 years the majority of essential global technologies have been produced in the U.S., but Chinese companies will likely play a big role in the future of technology. According to Dr. Graham T. Allison, a professor of government at Harvard University, policymakers and Americans should prioritize protecting themselves against the riskiest technologies from China while elevating America’s own, rather than labeling all technology produced in China as negative.
