Abstract :
Summary form only given as follows. Some of China´s military strategists appear to believe, that American technological competence has created a sustainable competitive advantage that, under certain conditions, may preempt China´s sovereignty by eliminating traditional military options. They argue that countering American technological superiority requires the creation of an asymmetric threat capability. The authors offer a different perspective. By creating and leveraging a flexible and adaptable knowledge infrastructure at the national policy level and using the MATI project, (Management of Accelerated Technology Insertion) tool set, sufficient strategic global alignment, congruity, and intellectual interdependence can be created to help reduce the value of asymmetric threats as instruments of national policy
