During his first 100 days in office President Biden has:
👉Established new positions for cyber and tech at the NSC
👉Coordinated sanctions with democratic allies
👉Issued national security guidance to counter China

What should Biden do in the next 100 days? ASD experts chime in
The Biden admin should appoint a senior-level Foreign Interference Coordinator at the NSC to develop policy responses across government to defend against authoritarian regimes’ operations to undermine democracy, Acting Director Dave Salvo says. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/our-experts-20…
The admin should develop a plan to establish a new bureau of Cyberspace Security and Emerging Technology at the State Department to lead government efforts to develop and reinforce international norms in cyberspace, @jessbrandt writes. lawfareblog.com/washington-nee…
The Biden admin should launch a global anti-corruption campaign. To begin, @USTreasury should publish its first-ever National Corruption Risk Assessment about the financial networks of kleptocracies and oligarchs, @JoshRudes says. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/treasurys-war-…
President Biden should establish a bipartisan presidential commission to recommend ways to restore public trust in democracy before the 2022 elections, @davidalanlevine and @wtadler argue. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/presidential-c…
The admin should act quickly to close loopholes in the current U.S. legal framework governing political campaigns to prevent foreign interference in elections, @JoshRudes and @jessbrandt write. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/spies-and-mone…
The White House should adopt a national and international security approach to 5G, 6G, and the future of the Internet, @LindsayPGorman urges. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/future-interne…

Russia, China, and Iran have been carrying out info operations to manipulate narratives around #coronavirus vaccines.

ASD analyzed >35,000 vaccine-related messages captured on our Hamilton 2.0 dashboard to understand the impact of these ops. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/russia-china-i…
While Russia, China, & Iran covered specific vaxes differently, they shared a common goal: to convince domestic & int'l audiences that their vaccines (or, in Iran, vaccines approved for use) were safer, more effective, & more affordable than certain vaccines produced in the West.
The Pfizer vaccine was mentioned more often by Russian, Chinese, & Iranian accounts than the Moderna & AstraZeneca vaccines combined. Russia was especially likely to suggest links between the Pfizer vaccine & the subsequent deaths of recipients. wsj.com/articles/russi…

China just announced that it has barred @BBCWorld from airing in China. According to @EtienneSoula, this comes after weeks of particularly harsh criticism of the outlet by the Chinese propaganda network monitored on our Hamilton 2.0 dashboard. 🧵 news.yahoo.com/bbc-world-news…
Last week, the British telecommunications regulator revoked CGTN’s license because of the Chinese Communist Party’s editorial control over the channel. Chinese officials were, to put it mildly, displeased. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/securing-democ… Image
Over the past week, 3 of the 5 most viewed Chinese state media videos on YouTube criticized @BBCWorld directly. This notably included coverage of China’s official condemnation of the outlet. Image

We've expanded the Authoritarian Interference Tracker! In addition to tracking acts of Russian interference, the tool now catalogues 165 examples of interference from China in more than 20 transatlantic countries since 2000. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/toolbox/author…
Like the Russian government, the Chinese government uses 5 tools to interfere in democracies: information manipulation, cyber operations, malign finance, civil society subversion, and economic coercion.securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/a-note-on-comi…
The new cases provide a picture of how the Chinese state uses asymmetric tools to undermine democracy and promote China’s values, @barros_bryce and @EtienneSoula explain. Here are some examples 👇securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/here-and-now-c…

China's engagement with Europe has increased significantly over the past decade.

In a new feature video, @rosenbergerlm and @Julie_C_Smith lay out China's toolkit and explain what Europe can do to address this threat and protect democracy.
China has increasingly engaged with Europe on a people-to-people basis and on social media, but the biggest change revolves around Chinese investment, @Julie_C_Smith explains. Over 670 Chinese & Hong Kong-based entities w/ ties to mainland China invested in Europe from 2008-2018.
Why does it matter? Europe is a key area in the Chinese Communist Party's efforts to expand its influence globally and to reshape global norms in its own image, @rosenbergerlm says. It seeks to divide Europe from within and to divide the US from Europe to weaken its competitors.

Authoritarian states are contesting democracies to reshape the global order.

Over the past 6 months, we convened a bipartisan task force of leading experts to tackle this challenge. Today, we published our findings. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/linking-values…
Authoritarian actors have seized the initiative in this competition. They're exploiting the openness of democratic societies to undermine institutions and exporting authoritarian norms, standards, and technologies around the globe.
Fortunately, democracies—and the US in particular—can regain the upper hand in this competition by addressing vulnerabilities, leveraging strategic advantages, and reframing the geopolitical contest in terms more favorable to democracy.

“The #coronavirus pandemic has spurred a global information contest in which China has employed increasingly aggressive tactics and techniques in a battle for narrative supremacy,” Media & Disinfo Fellow Bret Schafer said. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/coronavirus-an…
