Abstract
The aim of this research is to study the Employing Technological Variable in Managing the US-China Conflict. This research depends on the inductive approach, which means starting from the specific towards the generalization, as it focuses on studying one variable, the technological variable, to create a preliminary perception of the state of conflict between the United States and China, and then it can be generalized later on the nature of the conflict between the two parties in general as a suitable model for measurement. This study hypothesized that technology plays a pivotal role in the framework of the conflict management process between the United States and China, as it is employed at the heart of conflict management processes at all levels, especially in the field of supporting military, economic and media capabilities, and in the field of enhancing soft and smart power, based on its paramount importance in promoting different elements of strength. This study found that there is a difference between hard and soft power, as hard power depends on the military and direct use of force, in contrast to soft power that relies on attractive and legitimate sources such as work in international, cultural and popular institutions and public diplomacy.
