Leveraging Digital Fragmentation: An analysis of how these nations use localized data laws, sovereign clouds, and fractured network structures to create regional advantages, effectively turning global tech disruption into a defensive asset. The Impact on the United States: What this rising coalition means for US tech dominance, multinational corporate supply chains, and the long-term stability of Western digital market architectures.
