2014 SITC WORSKSHOP

The Relationship Between National 

Security and Technology in China

August 4-10, 2014

UC San Diego


Project SITC's summer training course at UC San Diego is open to advanced graduate students, junior faculty, and early- to mid-career analysts and provides a comprehensive overview of the development,  linkages, and roles  that science, technology, and innovation play in China's national security. The workshop examines the relationship between national security, technology, innovation, and China's rise as a world power. Of central interest is how China is mobilizing and applying its economic, political, strategic, corporate, financial, intellectual, and scientific capabilities in conjunction with leveraging external resources to achieve its grand ambition of catching up technologically with the world's advanced powers within the next 1-2 generations.

The new Taishan station is located between Zhongshan and Kunlun stations at an altitude of 2,600 meters. It can accommodate up to 20 people during the Antarctic summer, and is equipped with a runway for fixed-wing aircraft, specially designed for snow and ice.

China is urgently looking for ways of designing its own products rather than manufacturing someone else's. A recent report by a respected U.S. federal agency -- which shows Chinese high-tech output nearing that of the United States, China committing an increasingly large portion of its wealth to R&D, and a huge jump in the number of Chinese graduates with engineering degrees -- suggests it may soon have that chance.

PRC Push for Defense Exports Could Backfire

The past two years have seen a number of developments with the military aircraft programs of the People's Republic of China's aerospace industry.
