Скачать или смотреть How China's Military-Civil Fusion Strategy Outmaneuvered the US

The strategic shift in US-China relations, driven by China's Military Civil Fusion (MCF) grand strategy.
Core Thesis:
MCF is a comprehensive, state-led strategy synchronizing the national defense system and economy for systemic competition, distinct from US Civil-Military Integration.
Evolution of MCF:
Mao Zedong: Early dual-use production concepts.
Deng Xiaoping: Focus on economic development.
Xi Jinping: Prerequisite for informatized systemic confrontation.
Implementation Framework:
Top-Level Design: CCP Central Commission for Military Civil Fusion Development (CCMCFD).
Execution: Six major Systems of Systems (SOSs) to dismantle institutional barriers.
Key Focus Areas:
Five critical technology bottlenecks: military electronics, materials, propulsion, manufacturing equipment, software.
Cultivating specialized talent (human silicon).
Directing research in dual-use tech (AI, new energy).
Mechanism: Integrating private innovation via programs like Little Giants into national value chains.
Strategic Goal:
Achieve industrial and compute sovereignty to win long-term systemic competition.

Summarizes the strategic shift from a period of mutual curiosity between the US and China to the current era of principal adversaries, arguing this transition was driven by calculated strategic missteps and a highly successful Chinese strategy focused on national resilience and technological self-sufficiency. The main claim is that China's state-led, comprehensive strategy of Military Civil Fusion (MCF) is the engine driving this transition, designed to achieve total synchronization of the defense system and the national economy for systemic competition. The logic is that MCF, unlike the American concept of Civil Military Integration, is a grand strategy leveraging every lever of power—commercial, state, academic—to strengthen national security and achieve long-term development goals. This strategy evolved from Mao's early dual-use production concept and Deng Xiaoping's focus on economic development, culminating in the contemporary era where MCF is a prerequisite for success in informatized systemic confrontation. MCF is implemented through top-level design via the CCP Central Commission for Military Civil Fusion Development (CCMCFD) and executed through six major Systems of Systems (SOSs) to break down institutional silos and target five critical technology bottlenecks (military use electronics, critical materials, advanced propulsion, high-end manufacturing equipment, and essential software) to achieve industrial and compute sovereignty. The strategy also focuses on cultivating specialized talent (human silicon) and directing research in cutting-edge dual-use technologies like AI and new energy, utilizing programs like the Little Giants to integrate private sector innovation into strategic national value chains.
