Emily de La Bruyère and Nathan Picarsic will examine how China frames and operationalizes a strategy to dominate global networks in domains such as technology, energy, and finance. They will examine primary source documents on Chinese investment funds, patents, and science and technology prizes and engage in field research to interview experts and practitioners in key competitive domains. The project’s findings will appear in a series of monographs and reports.
Stephen Cambone will lead a team of researchers to examine how China’s leaders are preparing for information or “cognitive” warfare and to explore whether the United States should revise the military’s Unified Command Plan and other mechanisms to enable a more effective response to China’s global challenge. The project’s findings will be presented in a monograph and a series of papers.
