ABSTRACT

For many, the 1995-96 Taiwan Strait crisis and recent disclosures about possible Chinese espionage in the United States— including efforts to acquire U.S. nuclear and satellite technology— signal a major turning point not only in U.S.-China relations, but also in Beijing's perceptions about the role of high technology in political and military affairs. Evan Feigenbaum of Harvard University explores the evolution of Chinese thinking about the importance of high technology and China's effort to develop a high-tech capability to enhance its national security.
