In this installment of “Countering Chinese Communist Party Influence Around the World,” leading experts cover one of the most critical and contentious aspects of U.S. China competition: economic policy. Vandenberg Coalition Executive Director, Carrie Filipetti speaks with former Chief of Staff for the U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Clete Willems, former Deputy Director of the National Economic Council, on Rising to the Challenge: Addressing China’s Economic Threats to the United States. 

In this series, the Vandenberg Coalition shifts the focus beyond the Indo-Pacific and into various regions around the world where the Chinese Communist Party continues to threaten American interests. Each episode in the eight-part series discusses China’s growing influence in a given region, how it measures against American influence, how to define our relationship with the region in light of competing priorities, and what America can and should be doing to better protect and advance our national interests.
