The Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs\, and the East Asia Program are proud to host Associate Professor of Media S tudies at the University of Virginia and the C.K. Yen Chair at the Univers ity of Virginia's Miller Center.

In "Trafficking Data\," Aynne Koka s looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world\ , the United States and China\, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens\, putting U.S. national se curity at risk.

Kokas argues that U.S. government leadership failur es\, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish\, and Wall Street's addiction to g rowth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn\, American compl acency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather dat a in the United States and quietly send it back to China\, and by extensio n\, to the Chinese government.

Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents\, "Traff icking Data" explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in inte rnet governance and policy\, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.
