A technology based alternative to warfare beyond boundaries

Some Chinese military strategists appear to believe that American technological competence has created a sustainable competitive advantage that, under certain conditions, may preempt Chinese sovereignty by eliminating traditional military options. They argue that countering American technological superiority requires the creation of an asymmetric threat capability. The authors offer a different perspective. By creating and leveraging a flexible and adaptable knowledge infrastructure at the national policy level and using the MATI (Management of Accelerated Technology Insertion) tool set, sufficient strategic global alignment, congruity, and intellectual interdependence can be created to make asymmetric warfare an unnecessary and ultimately nonviable national policy.
