The book delves into the intricate relationship between technological competition and geopolitical rivalry between the United States and China, shedding light on why Europe and the European Union (EU) have become embroiled in this fierce battle for technological supremacy. The backdrop of China's political and economic ascendancy, coupled with the United States' gradual withdrawal from the region, has created a volatile and uncertain geopolitical landscape. Moreover, the emergence of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence (AI) has further intensified this competition, further complicating the dynamics in the region.

While the EU, often perceived as a global player, faces challenges in asserting its leadership, it has inadvertently become the focal point of this technological struggle. The author argues that the EU's wealth and influence make it an attractive destination for both the United States and China, as they seek to leverage its resources and markets to gain an advantage in the technological race.

Through a comprehensive analysis of the nature of this competition and the role played by the EU, the book offers valuable insights into the geopolitical motivations of China and the challenges faced by the United States in containing China's advance. It will appeal to practitioners in the fields of international relations and political science, as well as policymakers and analysts working for diplomatic services, multilateral organizations, and non-governmental organizations. By examining the intricate interplay between technology, power, and geopolitics, the book provides a timely and insightful perspective on the evolving dynamics of global competition.
