China's  New Great Leap Forward: High Technology and Military Power in the Next Half-Century

       Hudson Institute : Ernest H. Preeg, January 6, 2006  

    As U.S. foreign policy has shifted in focus since September 11 overwhelmingly toward the war against terror and in support of democratization in the Greater Middle East and Central Asia, the prospect of China’s emergence as a peer competitor to long-standing U.S. technological leadership, though widely discussed, has not been adequately analyzed.

“China’s New Great Leap Forward: High Technology and Military Power in the Next Half-Century” addresses the growing scientific and technological sophistication of China’s economy and military and, accordingly, the implications for broad U.S. national security interests. It seeks to encourage serious discussion among both the general public and policymakers about the challenges of China’s anticipated development of weapons of greater complexity and power.
