Briefing Technopolitics

The challenger

Thomas Edison, whose electricity standard lost out to George Westinghouse’s, might disagree.
电力标准输给西屋电气的托马斯·爱迪生可能会不同意。
Innovation is always a bit of a race, and in the race to come some American companies will lose out to Chinese competition, some of which will be unfair.
创新总是带有一点竞赛的，在这样的竞争中美国的公司会输给中国的竞争者，其中的一些还是不公平的。
But that does not mean America will lose. Unfairness must be guarded against and sometimes punished.
但是这并不意味着美国会最终输掉。不公平一定会受到惩罚的。
And America, like all nations, should take steps to keep its digital infrastructure secure.
像美国这样的所有国家应该在保护数字基础设施安全采取行动。
But that can be done without turning its back on the openness that has helped provide the technology which its citizens, and those of much of the rest of the world, enjoy today.
但继续保持开放会给人们带来科技的享受，在世界的其他地方也是这样。
Among other things, openness is one area where the West really should be able to keep its lead.
除此之外，开放是西方想要保持领先地位而应该继续的地方。
