Karl Schoenberger: How China’s leverage grows

From MercuryNews.com:

A group of China specialists gathered Thursday at Stanford University for a two-day hearing on China’s technology development and the challenges and opportunities it poses for the United States tech industry.

The scholars and security experts testified before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, painting a complex picture of the role technology has played in China’s rapid rise as an economic powerhouse. Congress created the 12-member commission in 2000 and charged it with investigating the “national security implications of bilateral trade and economic relationship” between the United States and China.

The opening hearing before the commission took place as America’s trade deficit with China has ballooned, reaching $162 billion last year.
