Beijing allegedly dialled down the revelation of its strategies in helping its military sector modernize its force. The policy raised concerns in Washington that were said to funnel US innovation to China.
China would allegedly improve its joint military-civilian efforts in developing cutting-edge technologies. A fine print of a new document that discusses the country's long-term economic and security vision was perceived to review this plan.
The Chinese government's annual report showed that Beijing's priority is towards military-civilian fusion strategy that is a central component of China President Xi Jinping's vision of China's long-term development.
The said strategy was launched last 2015 to get the private sector and state-owned military-industrial entities to collaborate on dual-use technology. This strategy was meant to help modernize China's defense forces. It was also discussed that the private sector had been invited to develop advanced maritime, aerospace, and cyberspace technologies jointly.
The said policy gained the attention and concern of the Trump administration. The US government allegedly worries that US technology and research would be funnelled in aiding China to modernize its military.
Last April, the US announced that export controls would be strengthened on sensitive technology to Chinese companies. The said restrictions would be enforced this month. Last month, the Trump administration issued an order to block the entry and grant of travel visas for Chinese students and researchers found to have a link with the fusion strategy.
