Solution
Dual use commodities are “those that can be used in weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
programs or in legitimate civilian applications” (Fuhrmann, 2014, p.2). Those materials can be
used for practical or radical reasons hence the reason whythe intelligence community faces
challenges in determining the threat involved. We can see this taking place in China where its
leaders continue to pursue dual tracks of facilitating internet access to the country for economic
and commerce growth and policing certain unwanted online behaviors. China also continues to
expand its cyber-attacks around the world and continues its network exploitation as well as theft
of intellectual property (Clapper, 2014). This recently took place where several F-35 jet
prototypes ended up with in the hands of the Chinese government.
