The US, Japan and South Korea on Friday jointly announced new measures on economic security, technology and other key issues, as the US side has intensified containment of China’s tech sector following the newly announced US investment restrictions. Chinese experts said that the reckless moves by the US and its allies are “doomed” and set to backfire, as China is pushing forward domestic replacements and tech self-reliance.
According to a joint statement on the White House’s website, the US, Japan and South Korea will strengthen cooperation in sectors including semiconductors and batteries, as well as on technology security and standards, artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
It said the three will work closely together to launch an “early warning” system to “enhance policy coordination on possible disruptions to global supply chains” as well as to better prepare to “confront and overcome economic coercion.”
They will enhance cooperation on technology protection measures to “prevent the cutting-edge technologies we develop from being illegally exported or stolen abroad,” read the statement.
