TUNE IN for a #ACFrontPage event with @BrianDeeseNEC, Director of the National Economic Council, as he presents a detailed view of the Administration’s strategy to build domestic industrial strength. pscp.tv/w/c6HNojFETEVC…
❝We meet today at a unique, #InflectionPoint for American economic policy…Our economy is growing at the fastest growth rate in almost 40 years…This is a direct result of our vaccination effort & our fiscal response.❞#ACFrontPage
❝Our private sector and public policy approach to domestic production that has prioritized short-term cost savings over security, sustainability, and resilience are coming to afore. In short, this was the wake-up call and we need a new approach.❞ #ACFrontPage
❝The approach of our competitors and allies has changed rapidly. We should be clear-eyed that China and other countries are playing by a different set of rules…We cannot ignore or wish this away.❞ #ACFrontPage
In today's #ACFrontPage conversation, @WhiteHouse National Economic Council Director @BrianDeeseNEC shares the 5️⃣ core pillars of the new 21st Century Strategy for American Industrial Strength:
❝We need to work with allies & partners. Resilience doesn't mean closing ourselves to the world. Partnerships with allies that promote more stable access to key inputs while improving environmental sustainability & workers’ rights is essential.❞ #ACFrontPage
2) Public investment
❝We’ve proposed the largest civilian investment in public R&D on record -- $180 billion – as well as a $100 billion investment in America’s workforce, including a targeted, sectoral-based approach to workforce development.❞ #ACFrontPage
3) Public procurement
❝The approach to public procurement has opened up new innovation and is just a glimpse of the power that a comprehensive procurement policy brings. We have proposed an almost $50 billion investment.❞ #ACFrontPage
4) Climate resilience
❝This is not just about winning domestically. We know that globally, clean energy is going to be one of the fastest-growing markets.❞ #ACFrontPage
5) Equity
❝We must learn from our historical mistakes. Prior economic transformations have not brought everyone along. By doing it this time, we will advance our economic competitiveness.❞ #ACFrontPage
Though Brazil has cracked down on "fake news," @camposmello explains that the lack of enforcement has allowed misinformation to continue to flourish alongside government influence operation: #360OS
“We absolutely need to be focusing on [the social media] industry and exposing wrongdoing and nudging it into better behavior. That's something that's going to benefit the industry itself." #360OS
"There's no one brand of extremism that stops at the borders of any country. There are just different ideologies that are shared, in many cases globally." #360OS
What are the markers on the path from radicalization to violence in both the international & domestic terrorism spheres?
An indicator for @georgetownICAP's Mary McCord is that once general ideological propaganda changes into logistical planning, the threat escalates. #360OS
“Data can also only get us so far in conflict zones because the role of social media is so heavily contextual. Social media really tends to be the most harmful when it's amplifying and reflecting back underlying tensions in these conflict zones.” #360OS
“Mediators should explore the potential of social media integration into peace agreements. Conflict parties might actually agree to exercise restraint in the online space the same way they agree to stop fighting physically via a ceasefire agreement.” #360OS
“Given the time in history, it's an interesting time to experiment with how the internet, in general, has completely disrupted the relationship between governing bodies & citizens. I think the Facebook @OversightBoard is a result of this conversation.” #360OS
"I call it investment strategy, which means that [China] tries to invest in the entertainment enterprise, the PR firms, and try to have them to help them spread disinformation locally in their country and here in Taiwan." #360OS

"The party in Xinjiang shows is what can happen when States use technology with no limits to exert control on the population. It's not just control, but it's actively trying to shape a population's behavior and identity." #360OS
Both US and EU officials have launched widespread supply chain reviews in response to widespread semiconductor shortages. But what exactly does this mean? @ACGeoEcon Senior Fellow @jedmark888 breaks down the economic and diplomatic factors at play: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/supply-c…
While global production capacity growth is concentrated in China, a lion’s share of this is still in older generation semiconductors. You can also expect greater growth in the US once the #EndlessFrontierAct funding kicks in.
