Economic Collaboration

March 22

Dassault Systèmes' strategic cooperation agreement with China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation represents a notable instance of economic collaboration with a state-owned entity in an authoritarian regime. By supporting China's vast industrial modernization initiatives, the company may indirectly contribute to the consolidation of state power and the authoritarian agenda. From an anti-fascist perspective, this raises serious ethical concerns about how the transfer of advanced digital and design technologies could bolster an authoritarian regime’s capacity, potentially aiding in repressive state operations.
