The Department of Justice and Commerce Department launched a joint effort to protect technology and supply chains from interference and theft by China and other adversaries.

The two agencies announced the Disruptive Technology Strike Force on Thursday. The strike force will focus on countering efforts by China, Russia, and North Korea to steal innovative technologies to enhance their mass surveillance or weapons development. The partnership adds to the Biden administration’s tech war on China, which notably includes new export controls over semiconductors and chips.
