This episode discusses not one, but two, new memos released by SCSP.

The first memo outlines a strategic framework for the United States to lead the evolving international techno-economic order, characterized by rapid technological advancements and intensifying geopolitical competition. We believe the United States must leverage its strengths to shape this new order and advance its economic and national security interests. To effectively navigate this evolving landscape, the United States must pursue a comprehensive strategy with the following core objectives:

Promote American-led Technology Platforms to Counter People’s Republic of China (PRC) Alternatives;
Rally Allies to Deny Revisionist Powers Access to Strategic Technologies; and
Rebuild International Trade for a Fragmented World.

In order to modernize the Department of Commerce for strategic competition, we outline key recommendations in the second memo for restructuring the Department of Commerce to advance U.S. economic and national security interests. Our goals are clear, DOC needs to:

Supercharge the Department of Commerce to Lead America’s AI Future
Bolster Techno-Economic Intelligence Capabilities
Position the U.S. Industrial Base for Techno-Industrial Competition
Organize the Bureau of Industry and Security for Tech Rivalry
Retool the International Trade Administration
