Leading U.S. technology companies are central to national competitiveness and security as America faces an intensifying global rivalry with China. Yet these firms are increasingly constrained by policy assaults in foreign markets that amount to non-tariff attacks. They include discriminatory regulations, targeted enforcement, digital taxes, and data and infrastructure mandates that are framed as neutral domestic measures but in practice weaken U.S. firms, extract resources, and erode their global competitive advantage.

ITIF’s Non-Tariff Attack Tracker documents these policies to help U.S. policymakers better understand their scope and impact. Compiled by ITIF’s Aegis Project for Defending U.S. Technology Leadership, the Tracker is a knowledge base of international laws and regulations that disproportionately or unduly target leading U.S. tech companies with restrictive or extractive rules or obligations that accrue to the benefit of Chinese competitors and other foreign rivals.
