ITIF Commentary: The Need for Western Techno-Industrial Policy to Address the China Challenge
This is not a substantive article but rather a brief snippet from the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation. It contains a provocative title ("Is the West Better Than China?") followed by only contact information and a short contextual note arguing that the West needs more active techno-industrial policy to meet the China challenge, which would upset free-market advocates.
Key quotes

This means a more active state in tech, trade, and industry, a prospect certain to rile free-market advocates.
Even if the US is a hollowed-out economy, at least we will be free.
