Resumen

El objetivo aquí es analizar la posición de China en la economía política internacional de las TIC en relación con Estados Unidos, con un enfoque en la disputa 5G. Para ello, el artículo considera la competencia en el ecosistema de las TIC, sustentada en estrechas relaciones entre Estado y capital, bajo tres prismas: económico, militar y de vigilancia internacional. Se postula que la renovación de la infraestructura global de telecomunicaciones pone en juego la redefinición de las fronteras de los sistemas de vigilancia internacional y el reposicionamiento de las empresas tecnológicas y economías en el sistema industrial, al tiempo que consagra la infraestructura civil crítica como un objetivo central en los cálculos militares. Aunque China es líder en 5G, Estados Unidos tiene poder estructural en el ecosistema de las TIC y puede obstaculizar sus avances.
