Navigating U.S.-China Economic Uncertainty

July 1, 2026
2-3 PM ET

The U.S.-China trade relationship continues to introduce uncertainty and are directly affecting technology supply chains, sourcing decisions, market access and long-term business planning.

As tariffs, export controls, investment restrictions and critical mineral concerns intensify, technology companies need to understand what could shift next and how quickly those changes could affect their business.

Join CTA for a member-only discussion on the near- and medium-term outlook for U.S.-China economic relations and what it means for the consumer technology industry. This discussion will explore:

  • How U.S.-China tensions are affecting technology supply chains and sourcing strategies

  • What tariffs, export controls and investment restrictions may mean for market access

  • Why critical minerals and rare earth dependencies are receiving increased attention from policymakers and industry stakeholders.

This session goes beyond the headlines to help members understand the risks, signals and decisions that could shape the next phase of global technology markets.

This discussion is especially relevant for leaders in trade, government affairs, supply chain, operations, strategy and business development.
