網路科技競爭：川普的網路安全政策及其對中國與全球資訊科技發展的影響

Competing in Information Communication Technology: Trump’s Cybersecurity Policy, and Its Implications for Information Technological Developments in China and the World

中美近年競爭，牽動國際政治諸多層面變動；本文聚焦在美國川普總統時期的網路安全政策，並梳理與中國在網路科技領域所產生的戰略競爭。雖然網路科技結構性變化，最早始於2013年中國倡導「一帶一路」的戰略，然美國卻遲至川普總統時期，方才提出具體政策應對。爰此，本文將運用國際關係學門外交政策分析的途徑，透過視中美於科技層面結構性轉變為自變量的分析起點，並佐以川普政府對外政策行為體為中介變量，進而爬梳自2017 至2020 年間中美數據競爭的經驗性觀察。本文除希望瞭解大國政治於新興數據領域之發展脈絡，也希企為未來網路世界安全走向提供一適切之趨勢分析。

This paper focuses on US foreign policy behavior and cybersecurity policy during the Trump administration in light of Sino-US tech competition. The paper reviews US deployment of Information Communication Technology policies to confront China in the digital domain. The digital structural shift described here started in 2013 with China’s proposed One Belt One Road initiative, and accelerated when the US Trump administration reacted with its Blue Dot Network and Clean Network Initiative. This paper adopts an International Relations analytical approach to foreign policy to investigate the Sino-US interactions in the digital domain, with structural factors of the wider Sino-US technical environment taken as the independent variable, and the agential factor of Trump’s intentions is recruited as part of the intervening variable. In this way, it is hoped the analysis will make possible an examination of the contextual development of digital competition, and unpack the implications for China and the world in relation to cyberspace.
