The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) challenges the prevailing Washington sentiment advocating for U.S. companies to decouple from China, particularly those serving the local Chinese market. While acknowledging concerns like forced labor and technology transfer, ITIF argues that maintaining a presence serves U.S. national interests. Key benefits include increasing revenue and market share that would otherwise go to Chinese firms, fostering global R&D investment, enabling reverse technology spillover back to America, creating dependencies among Chinese users, and providing access to high-quality talent and market insights. Data from 2023 indicates U.S. affiliates generated over $640 billion in revenue, with 70 percent sold within China. The report advises against government pressure on U.S. companies operating for the Chinese market, instead recommending targeted policies for offshoring production not serving China, improving transparency, and retaining Chinese talent in the U.S.
