Navy SEAL who oversaw the bin Laden raid says China’s massive military buildup is a ‘holy s—‘ moment (Source Yahoo News)

China’s technological strategy and innovation are serious threats to US national security — now, according to retired Adm. William McRaven, the US has reached a ‘holy s—” moment and needs to invest more significantly in technology research and development to keep its edge.

McRaven said that “as we talk about the rise of China, the gap” between American and Chinese innovation “is narrowing.”

In some cases — like with 5G commercialization — China is already beating the US, and its intellectual-property theft of US technology only compounds the rapid pace at which it’s developing new technologies, a report by the Council on Foreign Relations released Wednesday said.
