China's national strategy of military-civil fusion is rapidly evolving and highly consequential. This concept is complex and challenging to evaluate. I applaud @ChinaBriefJT for dedicating a special issue to these issues, and I'd highly recommend it. jamestown.org/program/editor…
@ChinaBriefJT To start, read this great overview by @gtlevesque, who discusses this "great gamble" to pursue 'guns AND butter' through seeking synergies in economic development and military modernization. jamestown.org/program/milita…
@ChinaBriefJT @gtlevesque Don't miss this important analysis by Larry Wortzel of @USCC_GOV, which addresses how military-civil fusion has concentrated on issues of mobilization, including of militias and reserves, a process that can prove challenging in practice. jamestown.org/program/the-li…
@ChinaBriefJT @gtlevesque @USCC_GOV Next, this piece by John Dotson, editor of @ChinaBriefJT, highlights a critical topic that is too often overlooked, that of how military-civil fusion influences the implementation of electromagnetic spectrum management. jamestown.org/program/milita…
@ChinaBriefJT @gtlevesque @USCC_GOV In the final article, @VornDick and I explore PLA thinking on the impact of biotech on future warfare and the potential implications of Chinese CRISPR research. jamestown.org/program/chinas…
