DoD trying to keep China from accessing critical U.S. space technology
DoD (Department of Defense) created the trusted capital program due to concerns that China is using its financial clout to access segments of the U.S. defense industrial base.
The trusted capital office encourages venture capital firms to get vetted by DoD so they can be declared sources of “clean capital.” Space is a sector of interest as billions of dollars pour into the industry, making it harder for the government to identify so-called adversarial capital.
Another piece of of DoD’s supply chain security involves making sure that contractors know the sources of their software and components.
