The US’ new tech strategy shows Washington is adopting the core lesson of China’s rise: tech leadership is a national security imperative Countries do not redraw the board while they are winning. Washington has adopted the tactics of a fighter with reach who declines to trade blows in the clinch: keep it long, concede the inside, win where your arms are. That is rational enough, and also what fighters do once they have felt their opponent’s power. The strategy document reaches furthest into American life through alignment. Agencies are steered towards milestone contracts with competing vendors, told to place federal money where it complements private capital rather than crowding it out, and to expedite clearances so expertise moves between laboratory, firm and department at commercial speed. The universities enter the same architecture through vetting.
