"Today, the gravest threats to U.S. national security come not from foreign adversaries and strategic competitors but from extremists and domestic terrorists who are attempting to subvert American democracy in support of Donald Trump." I started writing— foreignpolicy.com/2021/01/07/uni…
on the 6th of January, while I was shaking with rage and shock in watching the news, and after frantic, obsessive revisions, published this piece the next day, six months ago. I wonder sometimes if this is the most important commentary I've ever written, or perhaps the only piece
of work that I've produced that truly matters. And I am no less frightened at present for the future of our democracy. I fear that we continue to fail to reckon with the forces that subvert our founding principles and institutions in ways that have caused lasting damage already

We've just concluded three days of fantastic presentations and discussions in the course of the first U.S.-China Futures Summit (@YPFP_USCFP), which was the culmination of the work of series of task forces launched last summer. ypfp.org/u-s-china-futu…
Thanks so much to the @ypfp team, especially @joshuamarcuse! I've appreciated the opportunity to serve on the Steering Committee, along with @Ali_Wyne, @KKoleski, @chenniferann, and @1AlexanderTitus. I've learned so much from my colleagues and fellow participants along the way.
Our task forces tackled topics including geopolitical competition and international institutions, military-civil fusion and defense competition, technology governance, the bioeconomy, next-generation telecommunications, and opportunities to revitalize America going forward.

I'm just starting to read through the latest report from DoD on China's military power. I may share some quick reactions along the way. #ChinaMilitaryPower2020 media.defense.gov/2020/Sep/01/20…
This is a good observation on the role of the PLA in China's diplomacy.
This is one of the more nuanced definitions and characterizations on MCF that I've seen in official American assessments that have been publicly released so far.

I am struggling to articulate a coherent response to this direction in American diplomacy, which is at once unsurprising and a continuation of recent trends, yet terribly consequential nonetheless. wsj.com/articles/secre…
First, there are indeed compelling reasons for intense concern about the actions, intentions, and objectives of the Chinese Communist Party, especially considering the trajectory on which the Party has taken China under the leadership of Xi Jinping.
I can recount the issues in play and at stake, but we're all familiar with the core concerns at this point.

I've been so stressed and overwhelmed all week I hadn't noticed my research on military-civil fusion (from an essay in @Strategy_Bridge) was quoted in this piece by @ewong and @julianbarnes yesterday. I wanted to share a few thoughts on this latest policy. nytimes.com/2020/05/28/us/…
By way of disclosure and/or background, I am among those who has argued for some time that the U.S. government should undertake targeted countermeasures in response to the threat of tech transfer that PRC plans and practices have presented for years. cnas.org/publications/c…
By "targeted," I mean precise and careful, responding to an accurate understanding of the near-term threat and long-term challenge, rather than ill-informed or indiscriminate, and ideally avoiding overreach or collateral damage to U.S. values and competitiveness in the process.
