They also pointed to China\u2019s wipeout of the Australian rail industry as an example.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want what happened in those other industries to happen here,\u201d said Michael Orlando, acting director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, which falls under the Director of National Intelligence. When asked what the impact would be if the U.S. loses supremacy, he said: \u201cIt could be severe. We\u2019ve got to focus on these industries because we can\u2019t afford to lose them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a new report, the NCSC wrote that \u201cthese sectors produce technologies that may determine whether America remains the world\u2019s leading superpower or is eclipsed by strategic competitors in the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In each area, officials said, adversary nations have used a blend of legal and illegal methods \u2013 ranging from hiring talent to mergers and acquisitions to hacking and old-fashioned spycraft \u2013 to steal and replicate American technology.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past several months, officials have briefed a small group of executives and academics on the dangers to their research. Now that the report is public, officials plan on a more aggressive outreach to industry and universities.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said many private sector business leaders fail to appreciate that the outreach they get from Chinese and Russian entities for everything from joint ventures and partnerships to mergers and acquisitions is part of a national strategy by those governments to acquire those technologies and replace the American firms that are producing them.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligence agencies fear that U.S. firms will not only lose their edge, but will be entirely pushed out of the technology sectors crucial to the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIts not just the loss of intellectual property, but the loss of a complete business model\u201d said Edward You, NCSC\u2019s national counterintelligence officer for Emerging and Disruptive Technologies. He said vulnerability is particularly acute in health technology. \u201cBecause of our short sightedness, we may wake up one day and discover that we have become health care crack addicts and China has become our pusher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their goal is to explain to companies and universities that they are on the receiving end of a sophisticated, and often devious, effort by foreign governments to make off with valuable technology \u2014 and that some transactions that appear to be simple business deals are more dangerous to the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are having trouble understanding the bigger picture here and the ways that legal and illegal come together,\u201d Orlando said. Any particular deal could be attractive on the individual merits, but American business leaders should recognize that these offers aren\u2019t coming on the merits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t just because it was a good investment,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was because it was part of this larger plan.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u00bb Subscribe to CNBC TV: https:\/\/cnb.cx\/SubscribeCNBCtelevision<br \/>\n\u00bb Subscribe to CNBC: https:\/\/cnb.cx\/SubscribeCNBC<br \/>\n\u00bb Subscribe to CNBC Classic: https:\/\/cnb.cx\/SubscribeCNBCclassic <\/p>\n<p>Turn to CNBC TV for the latest stock market news and analysis.
