US, India, China: All Win In Global Tech Trade

The Rise Of "Chindia" Benefits All Nations — Including The US

This is the first document in the "Balancing Risks And Rewards In A Global Tech Economy" series.

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Latest foreign investment trends show that US investors are fueling the rise of China and India — "Chindia" for short — as major supply bases for tech R&D and manufacturing. By the same token, the US is becoming a magnet for foreign investments targeting industries such as financial services, consumer goods, and pharma that heavily use IT and boast huge, sophisticated markets and top-notch talent. In a reversal of trends, the Indian and Chinese companies are now exporting jobs to America by expanding their local presence on US soil, hence proving that the global tech trade can create win-win opportunities for all nations involved. To accelerate and fully capitalize on Chindia's integration into international markets, US firms should: 1) develop domestic talent capable of managing global Innovation Networks, and 2) lobby regulators to lower protectionist trade barriers.
