美国信息技术和创新基金会在美国国会参议院大楼举办座谈会，主讲人包括参议员。这个基金会表示，过去5年来，美中贸易关系进入危险阶段，中国方面转而实行本土创新战略，其基础是，强制转移IP网址，修改和操纵标准，采取歧视性的规章和税务政策，偏向中国国有企业。偏向国有企业是为了主导所有部门，特别是那些拥有高附加值的，以创新为基础的部门。但是华盛顿的一致反应却可以一言以蔽之，那就是，耐心。
美国信息技术和创新基金会举办的座谈会在美国东部时间星期二早晨9点半到中午11点举行，也就是中国时间星期二夜晚10点半到12点。
Confronting Chinese Innovation Mercantilism

Information Technology and Innovation Foundation :
America’s trade relationship with China has entered into a perilous stage in the last five years. With China’s shift to an “indigenous innovation” strategy based on forced IP transfer, standards manipulation, discriminatory regulatory and tax policies, and favoritism towards state owned enterprises, China is unabashedly seeking to favor Chinese-owned firms in order to dominate practically all sectors, especially the higher value-added, innovation-based sectors. Yet, the Washington consensus response can be summed up in one word: patience.
In an upcoming report, “Enough is Enough: Confronting Chinese Innovation Mercantilism,” ITIF’s Rob Atkinson documents this phenomenon and warns of the dangers facing the United States and the global economic system if China continues down this path. Atkinson draws on his experience co-chairing an informal White House-initiated U.S.-China innovation experts group and uses compelling data to make the case for awakening Washington from its complacency.
“Enough is Enough,” transcends the free-trade versus protectionist dichotomy and critiques both those who would curtail our trade with China and those who would continue to ignore Chinese mercantilism under the belief that it can never be successful. Instead, the report argues for a new approach to get tough on Chinese innovation mercantilism and to support the expansion of rules-based trade.
Join ITIF and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D,OR) as Atkinson presents the report and hosts a discussion by experts and policymakers.
