This panel of leading experts will examine the defense and national security risks created by China’s rise as an information superpower, compare the approaches of Canberra and Washington, and explore how the two powers can stay ahead of the challenge posed by China.

This event is the first of a three-part series. The next two panels will explore China-related vulnerabilities in U.S. and Australian supply chains and China’s efforts to wage disinformation, propaganda, and foreign interference campaigns. Join our distinguished panel for this timely discussion.
