Urgently Needed: An Economic and National Security 'War Cabinet'

In World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill formed a wartime cabinet to unify the UK to fight the threats the country faced.
In 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formed a war cabinet to confront and defeat Hamas.
In light of the recent, stark warnings given by the Five Eyes security leaders on the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party and so many others, it is time for the U.S. to propose an economic and national security "war" cabinet to coordinate, strategize, and implement plans to address the China challenge as well as the national debt's impact on our ability to confront it.
Voters in a small Michigan township ousted their entire township board over the board's support for building a Michigan-taxpayer subsidized, Chinese battery manufacturing plant in their midst. History might not remember them as among the first Americans to take a stand against the creeping Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence growing in the United States, but their vote should serve as a historic and valiant wake-up call for all Americans and their leaders.
How then should their leaders respond to the valid concerns over the threat posed by the CCP's efforts in America?
The Israeli government's political response to the barbaric Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 shows one potential avenue of response to Communist China's rapidly increasing national security threat – critically, before a crisis or an attack forces a response.
