A confidential internal Department of Defense (DOD) report concludes that “China, not the United States, is the ultimate beneficiary of DoD and other [U.S. government] research investments,” according to Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa).

“Washington is spending billions of your tax dollars every year to hypothetically achieve technological dominance over communist China, but the ultimate beneficiary of that effort may be ... China,” Ernst said in a Sept. 28 statement made available to The Epoch Times.
