A study finds that U.S. and Chinese export controls intended for economic coercion lose effectiveness as global supply chains adapt, with new dependencies emerging through third-country networks involving Chinese technology or materials. The key challenge is whether independent industrial capacity can develop quickly enough to counter supply crises caused by these controls.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
