Mike Kuiken, a former congressional staffer focused on national security, and Leland Miller, the CEO of China Beige Book, dive deep into the latest U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission report. They discuss the importance of supply chains, spotlighting rare earths and pharmaceuticals as key chokepoints. The duo also advocates for a unified economic statecraft agency to enhance policy coordination. Furthermore, they explore the implications of China’s military-tech focus over consumer concerns and the competitive landscape in quantum and synthetic biology.
