Story summary

Rep. Sheri Biggs argues in the Washington Examiner that America needs to update its policies regarding Chinese technology, as China has become adept at repurposing civilian tech for military use. She cites examples such as cellular modules, advanced robotics like robot dogs, and biotech research originally intended for commercial or humanitarian purposes but now being adapted by Beijing for military advantage. Biggs emphasizes that U.S. national security measures are outdated because they were designed in a world where the distinction between commercial and military technology was more evident.
