education in other countries have expanded the amount of research being done in academic settings outside the United States, along with an almost instantaneous flow of information across borders and within the United States. ● Industrial research and production have become globalized, because firms either have become multinational enterprises with affiliates and customers in many countries or are increasing offshore research and production.

The United States will need to find solutions in policy; structure; focus; investment in research, infrastructure, and human capital; and governance -- including solutions in both the public and private sectors -- if it is to retain the technological advantages that have historically underpinned both national security and a vibrant, open, and agile innovation engine. In a world where change is increasingly driven by platform technologies, the speed with which new capabilities can be applied in both the national security space and the competitive commercial marketplace and the shorter life cycles of technical capabilities create a very different timeframe within which competitive technical dominance can be maintained.

Under such circumstances, the dissemination of technologies of strategic importance to the United States could be clearly and vigorously controlled without substantially slowing the development of commercial technologies. Finding 2: Notwithstanding changes in the competitive landscape, some technologies with specific national security value will always need to be protected from loss or unauthorized transfer.

As noted above and emphasized throughout this report, the United States today faces a competitive environment very different from that of the past. Other countries have been actively challenging the nation's long-standing leadership in fundamental research and technology innovation, most often by emulating the approach taken successfully by the United States: developing world-class R&D environments, attracting talent, and investing in and supporting technology development.

Restricting use or knowledge can impact all phases of the technology life cycle, from development, to production, to use. Risk management decisions have become more difficult as a result of the changes in technology and technology development described in Chapter 2.

These rules limit the exchange of ideas, participation by other researchers, and international collaboration, slowing the pace of research and making research environments less attractive to talented people. Finding 9: China has now fully emerged as the leading technological and economic competitor to the United States.
|
From page 89... ...
China's rates of publication and patenting in science and engineering now exceed the rates among U.S.-based researchers. Also, as described in Chapter 4, China's ability to require companies to share information and its lack of strong privacy laws allow it to integrate and control information in ways that the United States does not, and its willingness to engage with authoritarian governments that the United States keeps at a distance provides it with access to markets and talent.
|
From page 90... ...
As described in Chapter 4, even though many STEM graduate students in the United States are from China and will eventually return home, the vast majority (more than 70 percent) of these students intend to stay in the United States and add to the innovative capacity of this country.
