In today’s special episode, we’re bringing back one of our most talked about guests: Michael Sekora, founder and director of the Socrates Project within the Reagan White House. While it was used back then to help take down the Soviet Union, its next goal, even back then, was to tackle a rising communist China. We’re going to hear from Sekora on how exactly China became a super power. But this is just part one of a special series. We’ll also touch on several myths, or go-to assumptions when it comes to tackling the China threat, and what it takes for us to win. Throughout these discussions, one term that’s apt to pop up a lot is that of TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY. Technology isn’t confined to just computers, A.I., and biotech. Rather, it’s the FULL RANGE of equipment, material, and know-how that mankind has developed throughout history. It’s the application of science to accomplish a function. Also to keep in mind, technology is not finance. Now when it comes to a technology STRATEGY, that involves the exploitation of strategy in a way that’s more effective than the competition. It’s not just confined to how much money one side throws at R and D. Another way to think of it is maneuvering, not lists. As in, how to outmaneuver the competitor in technology, both offensively and defensively.
