I have been involved in the assessment of Pakistan and China's Science and Technology capabilities through specific micro level case studies such as single crystal superalloys turbine blades for aircrafts, and in the area of missiles and nuclear technologies. A detailed analysis of the chinese strategy to attain global domination in the rare earth eco system was also studied. The need for India to play a greater role in building a complete rare earth value chain has been emphasised through a separate study on the Indian situation.
