    Why China Has Not Caught Up Yet Why China Has Not Andrea Gilli and Caught Up Yet Mauro Gilli Military-Technological Superiority and the Limits of Imitation, Reverse Engineering, and Cyber Espionage Can adversaries of the United States easily imitate its most advanced weapon systems and thus erode its military-technological superiority? Do reverse engineering, industrial espi- onage, and, in particular, cyber espionage facilitate and accelerate this process? China’s decades-long economic boom, military modernization program, mas- sive reliance on cyber espionage, and assertive foreign policy have made these questions increasingly salient. Yet, almost everything known about this topic draws from the past. As we explain in this article, the conclusions that the ex- isting literature has reached by studying prior eras have no applicability to the current day. Scholarship in international relations theory generally assumes that ris- ing states beneªt from the “advantage of backwardness,” as described by Andrea Gilli is a senior researcher at the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) Defense College in Rome, Italy.

We are looking forward to a wonderful year with a lot of things on the drawing FTV Report Pg2 board. I wanted to share just a few of our plans for 2016 with you. Hard Hat Tours Pg3 Corporate Supporters The big news is that we expect to return to our efforts to complete the structural repairs that began on The Texas in Curator’s Corner Pg4 2014. The best news is that thanks to all of the efforts that were put into our lobbying efforts, we were able to secure enough Overnight Program Pg5 funds from The Texas Legislature, to not only start back to work Supporters Pg6 on the structural repairs but enough funds to complete them. We are anticipating that work should begin again in the late In Honor Of Pg7 spring to early summer. Once we begin you can expect Neil Tho- mas, from TPWD, to return to The Dreadnought with his up- Membership Forms Pg8 dates regarding the progress of the work. We are really excited about this one. The next item is that we will be installing 28 tons of new HVAC on the Texas. This was made possible by our friends at CAPS who donated much of the equipment and its installation. Post WWII photo ? The remaining funds that were needed were donated by The Herzstein Foundation and The Brown Foundation.
