Companies from China are increasingly global technology trendsetters, including in important areas like electric vehicles and artificial intelligence.

The challenge for U.S. policymakers and the public is how to coherently decide what to shut out or let in from China .

Some technologies with Chinese origins have been relatively uncontroversial.

Others, officials say, are a human rights or national security threat.

Gerstell said he could imagine a process similar to UL certification, a safety organization’s seal of approval.

A private organization or a government regulator could check that Chinese -made electronics aren’t built with surveillance capabilities, he said.

He acknowledges that these ideas might not be perfect or workable, but “a lot better than what we have now” — which is to try to ban some Chinese technologies while ignoring others.
