Unlike other commercial activities geared toward supplying raw materials to China's 1.3 billion inhabitants, Chinese investment in space and telecommunications implies broader commercial and strategic interests that potentially put the Chinese into Western Hemisphere air and space. At present, Chinese activity in these industries is growing as U.S. engagement is diminishing. Globalization, advances in information technology, and China's growing capacity and interest in Information Warfare make the United States particularly vulnerable should it abandon international telecommunications and space industries. In order to mitigate future threats, the United States should step up its commerce, aid, and diplomacy with Argentina and the region as a whole. 606 $aInvestments, Chinese$zArgentina 606 $aTelecommunication$zArgentina 606 $aSpace industrialization$zArgentina 606 $aInformation warfare$zChina 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 607 $aChina$xRelations$zArgentina 607 $aArgentina$xRelations$zChina 615 0$aInvestments, Chinese 615 0$aTelecommunication 615 0$aSpace industrialization 615 0$aInformation warfare 615 0$aNational security 700 $aHulse$b Janie$01403434 712 02$aArmy War College (U.S.).$bStrategic Studies Institute. 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910696150903321 996 $aChina's expansion into and U.S. withdrawal from Argentina's telecommunications and space industries and the implications for U.S. national security$93476091 997 $aUNINA
