* China’s hardware-software tech ecosystem,

* The future of rule-setting in Asia,

* U.S.-China economic statecraft, and

* The importance of American strategists to understand the concerns and aspirations of Asian states as independent actors, as opposed to pawns in the competition between the United States and China.
