**__This event will premiere on this page at 10:30 a.m. EDT, Tuesday, July 7. To submit a question, email events@hudson.org.__**

Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray on the pernicious influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the United States and how the Bureau is responding to curtail Beijing's far reaching influence.

From manipulating Fortune 500 companies and stealing intellectual property to subverting U.S. universities and sowing disinformation, the CCP is employing a multipronged approach to distract Americans while filling its coffers and expanding its vision for a communist world.

How is the FBI responding to Beijing's incursions into American businesses and in the U.S. financial sector? What strategies is the CCP employing to coopt American institutions? How can U.S. businesses protect themselves from Chinese data and monetary theft?

Director Wray will address these questions as he outlines the United States' resolve to counter China's attempts at stealing American wealth. The conversation will be moderated by Hudson Senior Fellow Walter Russell Mead.
