The People's Republic of China has launched a new cold war against the United States, affecting everything from economics to technology. The PRC is also utilizing information warfare against the US and its allies while propping up Russia's war of choice in Ukraine.

In this new cold war with the PRC, the US alliance system and its cutting-edge technologies are instrumental.

Please join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Rebeccah Heinrichs for a conversation with Dr. John Hemmings—a leading scholar on US alliance security in the Indo-Pacific, strategic competition, and technology policy—as they discuss how the US can best utilize these systems and technologies in this new cold war.
