US tech war against China is unwarranted and self-destructive

UNDER pressure to clarify its economic and security policies toward China, the Biden administration recently dispatched two top emissaries to "explain" that the US does not seek to decouple from China (which it effectively seems to be doing).

However, both Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan left unanswered how Washington plans to curb tech transfers and investments to China. That fostered the perception the new US measures could harm investors and be disruptive of the world's trading system.
