Hi Friend,

Big things are happening across the Pacific. In Beijing, Xi Jinping recently secured a third term in power, the first leader of China since Mao Zedong to do so. Xi has also set his sights on having China overtake the United States as the world’s dominant power.

Meanwhile, Chinese agents conduct espionage on U.S. soil, targeting American academics, political figures, businesses, and more. Most recently, the Department of Justice charged two Chinese intelligence officials with trying to bribe a U.S. government double agent.

It's clear that China is making a coordinated effort to challenge the United States, but are we responding with the type of coordinated effort needed to compete and win? We want to hear from you. Should Washington be paying more attention to China?
