AB - Under the great changes unseen in a century, emerging technologies are becoming the driving force for national strength growth and the high ground of power competition among major countries. A new round of technological revolution is reshaping the international political landscape. Since 2017, technology alliances have gradually become the "sharp weapon" for the United States to carry out all-round strategic competition against China. To consolidate its technological industrial competitiveness, seize the right to formulate technological rules, and export the "democratic industrial model", the United States has been actively building technology alliances against China and creating technological advantages over China. The US technology alliances against China have shown significant features such as evolving from the two-ocean alliance to a complex alliance of partners, from comprehensive decoupling to the "small yard, high fence" strategy, and from squeezing at the basic level to blocking at the high-end level, which have had negative impacts on China's economic development and regional prosperity and stability. However, the US technology alliances against China also face many difficulties, such as insufficient domestic resource investment, limited cooperation from its allies, and China's countermeasures to break the containment. From "Trump 1.0" to "Trump 2.0", the United States has gone through two party alternations, and the strategic competition against China by both parties has basically taken shape. The goal of the US to strongly promote industrial return has not been achieved, and the steps of jointly containing China in technology with its allies have never stopped. Judging from the pro-China tendencies of Trump and his foreign policy team in the second term, the US technology alliances against China may continue to intensify the technological containment against China and expand the scope of technological blockade. In response to the possible adjustments of the US technology alliances against China brought about by Trump's return, China should respond rationally with a bottom-line and extreme mindset. China, Japan and South Korea should actively adjust their economic cooperation relations and respond flexibly.
