The United States needs to act more robustly and more quickly in more ways and in more areas.

That was the key takeaway from a panel discussion focused on addressing China’s threat. Titled “The New Ways of War,” the event in Denver was hosted by the Washington Examiner and the Colorado Thirty Group on Tuesday. The panel included retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Bradford Shwedo and Brig. Gen. David Stilwell, who now instruct at the Air Force Academy, the Washington Examiner’s senior defense writer Jamie McIntyre, and the American Foreign Policy Council’s Michael Sobolik. I moderated the discussion.
