"Trafficking Data: How China is Winning the Battle for Digital Sovereignty" by Aynne Kokas explores the complicity and interdependence between the United States and China in data trafficking. The book argues that the movement of data from US tech firms to China threatens digital sovereignty worldwide. It examines how the Chinese government has exploited the US's lack of systemic data governance for its own strategic advantage. The book suggests policy tools called "data stabilization wedges" to prevent further exploitation and discusses the impact of data trafficking on the digital sovereignty of third states. Overall, the book provides valuable insights into digital sovereignty, data governance, and US-China strategic competition. [Extracted from the article]
