To face the China challenge, the United States needs a better understanding of the Chinese Communist Party’s origins. How has the CCP maintained legitimacy and control while pursuing market reforms and private sector development?

The world’s two largest economies remain deeply interdependent even as they race toward greater self-sufficiency. Recently, the United States and China reached a fragile détente in their trade war, anchored by China’s agreement to resume rare earth magnet exports and America’s lifting of technology export controls.

China’s sophisticated hybrid warfare is a key aspect of its campaign to undermine Taiwan’s resilience and discourage American involvement in the island’s security. On top of conventional military threats, Beijing uses disinformation and economic leverage to coerce and diplomatically isolate Taiwan. In the event of a crisis, China will likely intensify its use of these tactics to harm the United States military’s readiness and undermine support for intervention among the American populace. To

In addition, the CCP extrajudicially detains many Tibetans, Christians (including pastors), and political dissidents.
