American technology firms will increasingly be forced to decide whether their interests are in line with U.S. national security or with maximizing their profits in Chinese markets, according to homeland and cybersecurity analyst Paul Rosenzweig.

In an interview with NTD’s “Capitol Report” on Monday, Mr. Rosenzweig said U.S. policy is increasingly forcing a “decoupling” between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in an effort to reduce security risks. Mr. Rosenzweig, who served as the deputy assistant secretary for policy in the Department of Homeland Security and who continues to consult and lecture on cybersecurity and technology, said U.S. firms will have to increasingly reassess their business models to match evolving U.S.-China relations.
