Experts Warn: China Waging War Against the U.S. - FreeBeacon
China is waging war against the United States through a far-reaching foreign influence operations campaign that has raised concerns of spying and technology theft, according to regional experts.
In testimony before the House Intelligence Committee last week, James Phillips, chairman and CEO of NanoMench Inc., warned the Chinese government is subtly exploiting America's open innovation model to steal business secrets and academic research, posing a greater national security threat than the much-publicized actions by Russia.
"We need to quit talking about Russia," Phillips said. "There's a real war going on-it's a cyber war like never before, where they're invading the United States every day trying to take over the United States in terms of our science and technology. If they're not stealing it they're imitating it, or they're trying to get it through other means."
"We're publishing our very best science out of our universities, national labs onto the internet, giving it free to countries like China," Phillips said. "It just doesn't make any sense to the extent that that could be moved from ideation to invention to innovation to full execution commercialization and we could have the lead on innovation, not only now, but on a permanent basis and all that translates to GDP. The winner is not going to be through wars anymore, it's going to be through GDP-the country with the best jobs and the most jobs."
U.S. intelligence officials have warned for years of Beijing's emergence as a major strategic competitor that is seeking to supplant the United States as an economic and military powerhouse.
During a security conference in Aspen, Colo., last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray called China the "most significant" long-term threat to the country, noting the bureau is pursuing Chinese-linked economic espionage investigations in all 50 states.
- Father, help our nation's leaders secure our secrets and technology from the Chinese and all others who would do us harm.
- It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. (2 Samuel 22:33)
