David R. Shedd

David R. Shedd, a former senior U.S. intelligence official, and Andrew Badger, a former DIA case officer, delve into China's systematic intellectual property theft. They discuss how China's cultural ethics rationalize espionage and the influence of historical factors on current strategies. The conversation highlights the urgent implications of Western naivete and the need for policy shifts, including protecting critical technologies. With alarming insights about cybersecurity threats and the culpability of both U.S. political parties, they present a compelling case for national security reforms.
