China is rapidly closing in on the United States in the “tech war” and experts warn that if they take the lead it will pose a threat to the U.S. economy and national security. Domination in fields including artificial intelligence, quantum communication, 5G, and others will vault the winner into a position of dominance, making this a war the U.S. cannot afford to lose.

 “Both the U.S. and China are trying to innovate, develop, and create the most cutting-edge technologies that both sides hope will allow their countries to gain a disproportionate share of the market when the technologies turn into commodities or products for sale,” said Timothy Heath, the senior international defense researcher for the Rand Corporation. “The so-called ‘tech-war’ is really a competition for leadership in the creation and manufacture of advanced technologies.”
