Sometimes, I think the best thing America could do to improve it's long term military ecosystem and capability, is to bomb all it's business/MBA schools. Or relocate them to China.

When you need to 'get shit done' you really need to focus on the shit, not on how you can best profit from it.

It's ironic that you mention China. Chinese military intelligence is routinely contracted by Chinese businesses to conduct industrial espionage.

Chinese military efforts in the South China Sea are all about controlling shipping and oil extraction - for profit.

Chinese military control of Hong Kong was important to control that financial capital and the in/out flows of cash from China.

Chinese military threats to Taiwan are important because of the vast wealth and industrial knowledge base in Taiwan.

We live in a new era, where gov't, finance, and tech, are increasingly consolidating power to form super-national power structures.
