Damage control
As countries around the world accelerate their strategic technological deployments, traditional global geopolitics are shifting toward "techno-politics". That is, with the unprecedented rise in the role of technology and under the logic of international political competition, the organizational structures and behavioral patterns of nations, as well as the means and content of major power competition, are undergoing significant changes. Technological factors have become core variables in economic competition, national security and even ideological confrontation.
