    Intelligence analysis is not only about capturing successful cases but also about extracting valuable lessons from unsuccessful practices, particularly regarding decision-making biases, improper resource allocation, and unmet expectations. With this in mind, this article shifts the intelligence analysis perspective to focus on the global resurgence of the DARPA (United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) imitation trend. Many countries have proposed emulating the operation model of DARPA to establish their own disruptive technology research institutions that make high-risk, high-reward investments. However, over the years, followers, including DARPA-like agencies in the United States, have been unable to replicate the same level of success. This article attempts to analyze why these imitators have struggled to compete with DARPA in the race for breakthrough innovation, offering insights for China to build a more efficient, flexible, and innovative technology research management system in the face of global technological competition.

    With the rapid iteration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and the continuous expansion of its application scenarios, the competition between China and the United States in technological research and development, industrial deployment, and policy formulation has become increasingly intense. This rivalry not only shapes the future direction of global AI development but also profoundly influences the evolution of the world’s economy, politics, and even social structures. The trajectory of China-U.S. AI competition will be determined by the interplay and balance of multiple factors in the future. Its impact has long transcended technology itself, becoming a crucial microcosm of great power rivalry in the 21st century. Understanding the logic behind the the U.S. administration’s “small yard, high fence” strategy over the past four years and comprehensively assessing its effectiveness can help Chinese competitive intelligence professionals establish strategic coordinates in several key areas-dynamically tracking U.S. technology restrictions, analyzing China’s technological breakthroughs, forecasting risks and opportunities, and formulating competitive strategies that integrate both offensive and defensive approaches.
