Amazing U.S. companies are on the leading edge of space advances, but the PRC is also on the march, executing its grand strategy to become the top techno-econ superpower able to dominate the space frontier. @elonmusk

If you're a true leader, these qualities are essential. You don't have to be perfect in each, but you should strive to be so. Worth judging current & wannabe leaders in our society based on these criteria. Exercising them lifts others; ignoring them sends things off a cliff

We need a more mature evaluation of risks to the nation. We should rightly prepare for possible catastrophic and major changes, what I call combustible events that may be sudden and consequential. See our traditional risk evaluation matrix here:

But we also need to properly address the risks of lesser events that cumulatively create big strategic advantages for adversaries like the CCP. The 1,000 cuts the CCP is administering "under the dome" in America requires us to take this slow hemorrhage more seriously.

Any superpower that hopes to build its power & prosperity must have a constructive, inspiring vision for the world and responsibly pursue that vision. Unfortunately, right now, China has a better vision than the U.S., and momentum is swinging in their direction.

We're not going back to the old world order. China is delighted to place the blame on the US for destroying it. Xi is confident trends are now on his side & he has even greater prospects of winning global influence, marginalizing the US, & reshaping the world on his terms.

@mikestudeman: There is a growing sense of moral equivalence between what China does ... and what the United States is doing in the world, and this is a danger in and of itself if the United State is unable to hold the moral high ground. This is a battle for legitimacy."

We need better defenses to prevent or prevail in war, but we can’t solely obsess on combustible events. Equally damaging are CCP political warfare & RUS active measures to steal, exploit, & co-opt us from the inside out. Both gunshots and diseases risk mortal danger. Red’s game

Elevate your leadership, accelerate your life. Because no American should suffer from poor leadership, their own or anyone else's. Get a copy of Might of the Chain here: amazon.com/Might-Chain-Forgi…

Inconvenient truths about CCP political warfare inside the U.S. I don't use the term "silent invasion" lightly, but it's true we are being exploited from the inside out on our home soil by the CCP. And Beijing has been wildly successful in suppressing U.S. discussion about this

A privilege to testify on CCP political warfare against Taiwan and the U.S. to the Congressional-Executive Commission on China this past week. These are the conversations we should be having as a country. 1/5 excerpts:

5/5 In facing the PRC challenge (and other "red" actors), we need healthy and capable tools of national power; therefore, hollowing our diplomatic and information instruments right now is 100% counterproductive. We're beyond economizing; we're euthanizing ourselves. Not smart.

Insights here for you in a talk with the President of the Nat'l Bureau of Asian Research. Cathy Johnston and I analyzed China for decades (before it was cool) and we served together as the senior-most intel leaders for the Indo-Pacific Cmd from 2019-2022. podcasts.nbr.org/e/assessing…
