FTC Chair Lina Khan Advocates for Fair Competition to Propel U.S. Innovation in Global Economy

Ensuring that U.S. startups can compete fairly with the nation’s big tech companies will stir innovation and enable the United States to meet the demands of the increasingly competitive U.S.-China economic relationship, Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan stated on Friday. At an event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations, Khan emphasized that monopolists and incumbents excel at incremental improvements and innovations. She further highlighted her perspective on measuring success beyond just the number of wins, focusing instead on the significance of those wins in advancing the law.
