美國空軍負責武器裝備采購的副助理部長Cameron Holt少將坦言，中國正以比美國更低的成本、快五至六倍的速度打造“新武器庫”，從而獲得了讓美方“不能再放任不管的戰略優勢”。以購買力來計算，中國每花費1美元就能獲得美國花費20美元才能獲得的同等能力。如果我們不知道如何降低成本、提高國防供應鏈速度，我們就會輸。

As well as the sheer speed with which Beijing is able to acquire new weapons, Holt contends, the Chinese are also operating far more efficiently. “In purchasing power parity, they spend about one dollar to our 20 dollars to get to the same capability,” he told his audience. “We are going to lose if we can’t figure out how to drop the cost and increase the speed in our defense supply chains,” Holt added.
