There Is No Thucydides Trap Between the U.S. and China
By Richard Hanania, RealClearDefense: “The Thucydides Trap is among the most well-known concepts in international relations. Recently, discussions about the rise of China have invoked the phrase, arguing that the nation's growing economic and military strength potentially puts it on a collision course with the United States."
The Chip Wars of the 21st Century by Steve Blank
5 Reasons James Taiclet Is an Ideal Successor to Lockheed’s Marillyn Hewson
By Loren Thompson, Forbes: “There was a time when the U.S. aerospace and defense sector was dominated by larger-than-life leaders, with egos to match, who frequently took big risks with their shareholders’ money. Those days are long gone."

An Expeditionary Support Ship for a Navy-Marine Team
By William Stearman, Proceedings: "Marine Corps Commandant General David H. Berger, in his 3 March Force Design 2030 document, expressed the need for “forces that . . . can operate inside an adversary’s long-range weapons engagement zone (WEZ).” General Berger further noted that he does not believe that “forcible entry operations are irrelevant or an anachronism . . . different approaches are required given the proliferation of anti-access/area denial (A2AD) threat capabilities in the mutually contested spaces.”"

CHINA:
Has China Gone Into Stealth Mode With Its Military-Civil Fusion Plans?

By Matt Ho, South China Morning Post: "There was no apparent word in this year’s government work report of the defence strategy that has raised alarm in Washington."
Anachronistic Export Policy Is Damaging the U.S. Drone Industry and National Security
By Dave Deptula, Forbes: “Adherence to an obsolescent approach to the international nuclear non-proliferation export guidelines of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) is hurting the United States (U.S.) both commercially and from a national security perspective."

Pentagon Reshuffles R&D Priorities
By Jon Harper, National Defense Magazine: "The Defense Department is shaking up its list of research-and-development priorities as the Pentagon builds new roadmaps for pursuing future capabilities."
SOCOM’s Hyper-Enabled Operator: Will It Work This Time?
By Paul McLeary, Breaking Defense: “As Special Operations leaders rush new programs to incorporate AI and advanced communications into their intelligence gathering and influence operations around the globe, they want individual soldiers in the field to be a key part of pushing that data."

Army Patriot Missile Connects With Air Force F-35 to Destroy Cruise Missile
By Kris Osborn, Warrior Maven: "This kind of warfare development, wherein multiple sensor nodes track and share information across domains to identify and destroy threats, represents the exact intention of the Army’s Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS)."
Michael Dahm writes: China’s strategy for the use of AI technology is evolving from their interpretation of the character of war and is ultimately an extension of the PLA’s informationized warfare concepts.  While there is certainly overlap with U.S. military thinking on the use of AI, Chinese military scholars appear to be reaching different conclusions. […]In developing strategies to counter Chinese military capabilities, the Pentagon should pay close attention to the PLA’s evolving warfighting concepts and views on AI in future combat. – War on the Rocks ​
Dan Blumenthal and Nicolas Eberstadt write: If the current arrangements were overwhelmingly disadvantageous for the U.S., it would be a straightforward matter (albeit painful and unpleasant) just to end them. But this is not the case. Instead we find ourselves in a tableau mainly painted in shades of gray. Careful discrimination and informed judgment will be required to determine whether each of the myriad cords that bind us to China today is actually in the American interest. For each of these cords, domestic U.S. constituencies will be at the ready to make the case that their particular relationship really is. – National Review Institute
Assessing China’s Civil and Military Crisis Response Capabilities
By Hugh Harsono, Divergent Options: "COVID-19 has highlighted China’s strengths in terms of rapid quarantine implementation and mobilizing national-level resources quickly. It has also highlighted failures in China’s bureaucratic nature and failing public health systems and breakdowns on the military front."
