Intensifying U.S.-China strategic competition is prompting North America to reconsider how it engages with Beijing across economic, political, and technological spheres. The United States and Mexico have moved toward greater alignment through tariffs and joint action on Chinese industrial overcapacity and market distortions, while Canada has adopted a more differentiated approach.

This session analyzed how these varying national strategies are influencing North America’s economic integration, supply chain resilience, and geopolitical positioning, and the implications for regional coordination, competitiveness, and long-term strategic autonomy.
