    Unlike mainstream theories of hegemony, this study employs Robert Cox’s analytical framework from a critical theory perspective to diagnose how China is challenging the current technological hegemonic order and assess its potential as counter-hegemony. In material terms, China is securing key positions in the global technology supply chain through advanced technological development, expanding its influence in technology-related international organizations, and constructing a new technological governance system through China-centered international institutions such as the Digital Silk Road. Ideologically, China is simultaneously resisting and proposing alternatives to the existing Western- centered ideational framework. Notably, an increasing number of developing countries are adopting Chinese technology, intensifying institutional cooperation with China, and consenting to the alternative ideas China advocates. Taken together, despite certain limitations, China can be understood as being in the process of forming a counter-hegemony in the technological domain.
