At a time of intense rivalry between the United States and China, the high level of interdependence between the two countries creates a range of economic and strategic challenges for both. The challenges arising from US-China interdependence also have profound implications for Europe, including Switzerland. This study therefore aims to shed light on the overall implications of US-China interdependence, especially for Switzerland. It proceeds from the macro level, focusing on the overall economic and strategic implications of US-China interdependence and rivalry, to the micro level, analyzing the effects of interdependence in high-tech sectors, including semiconductors and rare earth elements.
