The news just keeps getting worse about China’s theft of American technology. Now comes this story in the Los Angeles Times. An adjunct professor at UCLA conspired to buy types of highly specialized semiconductors that the American military uses to help identify targets, among other purposes, and ship them to China. He apparently was able to set up a facility to at least attempt to make his own versions of the chips. As I write in “The New Art of War: China’s Deep Strategy Inside The United States,” seen here, it’s time for all relevant agencies and departments of the United States governments to work with business and technology leaders to staunch the flow of stolen technology to China’s party-state-military apparatus. I call it the largest and fastest pattern of theft in history, and it is clearly continuing on multiple fronts. If we can’t control our own Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems, we will have lost the technology war without a shot being fired, which is exactly what Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War. He said, “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
