NSI Experts React to US-China Commission Report

TextOre’s own Dr. Megan Ammirati joined other notable China experts in a National Security Institute (NSI) podcast examining the recent annual report from the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.  They discussed current threats and opportunities facing American policy makers, debating how the U.S. can manage China going forward.  Megan praises the report’s holistic examination of the People’s Liberation Army by looking beyond developments in military technology to also overview the role the military may play in future diplomatic and economic activities. She also points out that the report under-emphasizes China’s competent military response to COVID-19 and suggests that it may be a sign that the U.S. should take the PLA’s modernization efforts seriously.  Hear Megan and her colleagues here.
