This book analyzes China's foreign technology acquisition activity
and how this has helped its rapid rise to superpower status. Since
1949, China has operated a vast and unique system of foreign
technology spotting and transfer aimed at accelerating civilian and
military development, reducing the cost of basic research, and
shoring up its power domestically and abroad-without running the
political risks borne by liberal societies as a basis for their
creative developments. While discounted in some circles as
derivative and consigned to perpetual catch-up mode, China's
"hybrid" system of legal, illegal, and extralegal import of foreign
technology, combined with its indigenous efforts, is, the authors
believe, enormously effective and must be taken seriously.
Accordingly, in this volume, 17 international specialists combine
their scholarship to portray the system's structure and functioning
in heretofore unseen detail, using primary Chinese sources to
demonstrate the perniciousness of the problem in a manner not
likely to be controverted. The book concludes with a series of
recommendations culled from the authors' interactions with experts
worldwide. This book will be of much interest to students of
Chinese politics, US foreign policy, intelligence studies, science
and technology studies, and International Relations in general.
