Disruptive Evolution in Cyberspace: COVID-19 and the Geopolitical Landscape

For the last few years, Eurasia Group has identified the US-China tech rivalry as one of the top global risks, not only for government but companies as well. Both countries are increasingly using cyber-related threats to express their displeasure, and COVID-19 seems to be accelerating this phenomenon. What is the current situation, and how can third parties such as Japan, Europe and ASEAN respond? As data security comes to be treated more and more like traditional military and economic security, the strategic statecraft involved becomes even more complex. Europe is seeking to establish a "digital single market," or digital COCOM, while Japan sought to lead with "Data Free Flow with Trust" (DFFT). Other countries may need to choose between US or Chinese technology, as can be seen with Huawei. Our panelists discuss what can be done to protect our data security in these uncertain times.
