I've been watching as the Pentagon shifts toward strategic competition with China -- after 20 years of skirmishing in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and I'm studying carefully what senior officials at NSC, DOD and the armed services are thinking and saying about the kind of tech innovation that's critical to our national security.
