Webinar | How NOT to Deter War with the CCP: Is Biden Setting the Stage for Our Own Defeat?

This webinar in the Committee on the Present Danger: China’s weekly webinar series addressed how the Biden administration – most recently in the person of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin – has responded to the escalating bellicosity of the CCP. Of special interest is the likelihood that its Chinese counterparts are reading U.S. passivity and preoccupation with bilateral “competition and cooperation” (as Secretary of State Antony Blinken put it recently) as provocative weakness.
