As Beijing grows more ambitious, the United States must take many measures to safeguard our national security and interests. The recently released National Defense Strategy reaffirmed that outpacing China remains a national priority, which presents some of the most pressing economic and security challenges of our time. How should the US balance competition between commercial enterprise and national defense? How is China leveraging its economy against the US, and are we taking appropriate countermeasures?

Please join AEI’s Mackenzie Eaglen and Derek Scissors for a conversation with the Business Executives in National Security’s Gen. Joseph L. Votel and Anthony Vinci as they examine the current state of our great-power competition and the actions necessary for the US to address the rapidly changing economic and security environment.
