Creating double destination technologies: the experience of China

One of the most important tasks of China is gaining access to civil-military integration (CMI), as well as the development of advanced dual-use technologies. China is striving to gain global innovation leadership in the United States and Europe, with serious consequences in life and the military. In the countries of the European Union, there are currently no strong, coordinated strategies to promote the development of dual-use technologies and their protection. As a result of fragmented European policies, China either catches up with or surpasses European capabilities with regard to most dual-use technologies through unified government policies, a national regulatory framework and financial investments, and also by accessing European innovations and technologies in a variety of ways. The article discusses the key areas of development of dual-use technologies in China.
