The U.S. Is Falling Behind China in Military Tech—Fast
America’s military edge is slipping. The fight for dominance is now digital, autonomous, and relentless.
Most Americans believe U.S. military power is untouchable. That illusion is dangerous.
I first went to China in 1981, when it was still under Deng Xiaoping—long before becoming the technological powerhouse we see today. At the time, the country had few advanced capabilities, but it was beginning to awaken. In 1978, Deng launched his landmark “Reform and Opening Up” policy to modernize the Chinese economy after the Cultural Revolution. During that era, he famously declared, “To get rich is glorious”—a phrase that became a rallying cry for a nation shifting from collectivism to market-driven ambition.
Fast forward to the 2000s, when I lived in both Shanghai and Beijing, and I saw the transformation firsthand. China is now on the move—and today, it leads in many sectors, potentially even in advanced military weapons systems.
China has spent the last 20 years building a war machine designed to leapfrog our outdated assumptions. Hypersonic missiles, drone swarms, AI-driven cyber warfare, and quantum-secure communications—these aren’t future concepts; they’re already deployed.
Meanwhile, Washington is stuck with legacy systems and slow procurement cycles. We can’t fight tomorrow’s wars with yesterday’s playbook. The next conflict will be won with AI, real-time cyber dominance, and economic pressure at machine speed.
Solution: BlkEdgeAi technologies integrated with the Department of Defense—weaponizing advanced AI to reclaim America’s edge.
This is not speculation—it is state policy.
China is executing at scale.
PRC State Council Document [2017] No. 35
New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan
Issued: July 20, 2017
In a sweeping national directive, the Chinese State Council declared artificial intelligence (AI) a top strategic priority for national development. The document mandates that all regions and industries across the PRC coordinate efforts to accelerate AI research, development, and deployment.
Key objectives:
-
By 2020: China aims to be competitive with global leaders in AI technology and applications, establishing a robust domestic AI industry exceeding 150 billion RMB (~$22B).
-
By 2025: Achieve major breakthroughs in AI theory and core technologies, integrating AI deeply into manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, and defense systems.
-
By 2030: China shall become the world's primary center for AI innovation, with leading capabilities in theoretical research, applied technologies, and global AI influence. The goal is to build an intelligent economy and intelligent society, laying the foundation for China to ascend as a global innovation superpower and economic leader.
This plan calls for:
-
National coordination of AI policy across civilian, commercial, and military sectors
-
Creation of open innovation platforms and AI-focused pilot zones
-
Significant investment in AI education, chip design, cognitive computing, and neural networks
-
Integration of AI into national defense and security planning
China 'Outpacing' US in High-Tech Arms Race,
中国在高科技军备竞赛中“超越”美国
Dan Quayle Warns
NEWSWEEK Published Oct 22, 2024
The U.S. is losing ground to China in the battle for military supremacy, according to former Vice President Dan Quayle, who warned that the two presidential candidates must wake up to the numerous threats facing the country from abroad.
Over the past decade, China has made advances in the realm of autonomous weaponry, futuristic military technology and in revamping its air force for potential 21st century conflicts. Quayle's warning comes amid a new wave of threats from Beijing toward Taiwan's de facto independence, as well as mounting concerns over America's vulnerability to its other global foes.
"Our military uses ships and jets built decades ago," Quayle wrote in a Monday column for The Wall Street Journal. "Meanwhile, China is outpacing our investments in autonomous, hypersonic, cyber and space weapons."
While the U.S. still boasts the world's largest air force, China fields the largest maritime fighting force, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and it is heavily focused on developing new weaponry to meet the challenges of this century's armed conflicts.
Quayle, who served as vice president during the George H.W. Bush administration, said the U.S. needs to wake up to the threat of an "ambitious China lying in wait," whose rapidly advancing military capabilities could see it achieve its goal of "replac[ing] America as the world's pre-eminent superpower."
Quayle cited Beijing's recent military exercises in the Taiwan Strait, during which it encircled the island nation, as evidence of its expansionist goals.
However, he said that China isn't alone in these ambitions, and that Russia, Iran and North Korea all share a similar, overarching aim: "to take down America."
"The specter of World War III has been tossed around carelessly," Quayle wrote, "but we need serious strategies to prevent it from happening."
His warning was specifically targeted at the two candidates for the White House, who he said have so far treated foreign policy "as a side issue."
As well as damage to American hegemony posed by China, he said that the threat posed by a "revanchist Russia" could grow throughout the decade.
"As tragic as the war in Ukraine is, it could one day be remembered as the opening salvo of a far deadlier conflict," Quayle said. "Mr. Putin always wants more—a lesson we should have learned after he invaded Georgia in 2008 and annexed Crimea in 2014. A president who appeases him now would be making a blunder of 1930s proportions."
In the Middle East, meanwhile, Quayle said that the "turmoil" can be traced back to Iran, and argued that "true peace in the region is unlikely until there is regime change in Tehran."
