Title: Modernization and the Military-Civil Fusion Strategy
Author: Capt Alexander E. Farrow, USAF
Abstract: This article employs economic and political theory to elucidate a novel approach by which China seeks to gain military advantages through a technological surge. It specifically posits that Beijing intends to expedite economic efficiency by investing in advanced technologies. Simultaneously, the military-civil fusion strategy enables Beijing to rapidly and efficiently convert this technological investment into military applications, thus modernizing its armed forces.
In response, the United States should counter this strategy by impeding China’s modernization endeavors. To be more precise, it can target China’s military-civil fusion strategy by disrupting technology development through limitations on supply chains and imposing sanctions on companies. This paper contributes to the existing body of research on this subject by suggesting that the United States should enhance its own military-civil fusion strategy by strengthening the pathways for translating technology into military applications. Additionally, this paper prescribes ways for the operational force to tackle this challenge by expediting research, development, and the application of key dual-use technologies.
