This report is the fourth in our series describing the state of research into Hypersonics in the People's Republic of China. The first report detailed the current state of research into hypersonics in China, the second report detailed Collaboration Efforts on Hypersonic Research Between the PRC and Sweden, the third report detailed Collaboration Efforts on Hypersonic Research Between the PRC and the UK, CASI followed those reports with a webinar in May of 2023 on the PRC Hypersonics Research Landscape. This final report details Collaboration Efforts on Hypersonic Research Between the PRC and U.S. institutions.
The purpose of this series of reports is not to "name and shame", but rather to bring to light the extent to which the CCP leverages all avenues of influence, connections, and power to improve the People's Liberation Army. While perhaps unwise, none of the collaborative efforts appear to be illegal, and serve to illustrate how the PRC uses the power of the purse to obtain information, technology, R&D, etc. that the CCP deems important to improving China's "Comprehensive National Power".
CASI hopes to inform academia, research organizations, companies, and other institutions involved in Research and Development related to national defense and security in democratic nations, and simply make them aware of the scope and scale of the Communist Party of China's efforts to acquire leading edge technologies in order to strengthen the People's Liberation Army.
