Europe Feels Squeeze as Tech Competition Heats Up Between U.S. and China

National security doesn't just stop with ground level military forces. Cybersecurity is an important matter to all nations, but primarily the United States, China, and Europe. The European Union is attempting to serve as regulatory overhead but fails to stand against foreign digital markets that may have more skin in the game than they so need to. When companies like Google, Huawei, and everything in between grow as big as they do, at what point do you begin to grow concerned in terms of global political technology. One exampled mentioned explicitly was the growing teenage social platform, TikTok, which has recently been chastised for various data security measures between the U.S. and China. Europe hopes that in due time, they will be able to catch up and solidify tougher rules and guidelines among the big tech companies of today. Unfortunately, Trump doesn't believe that they will make the deadline.
