Interesting content aside, these PLA equipment departments-led competitions essentially serve as a disruptive element that helps bring new players and new ideas into the military’s traditional research, development and acquisition (RD&A) process.

In the long run, a more open and modern innovation culture will no doubt be conducive to its recruitment of a college-educated, tech savvy younger workforce.
