The Chinese Communist Party has become increasingly audacious in its attempts to infiltrate, influence, and outmaneuver the United States on various technological fronts. In this environment of heightened competition, the Biden-Harris administration’s decision to dismantle the Trump-era China Initiative was a grave misstep.

The CCP has spent the last several decades guaranteeing itself a foothold in American industries, from steel to farming to medicine. In 2015, the CCP sponsored a program called “Made in China 2025,” outlining 10 industries critical to making China dominate in high-tech manufacturing and authorizing intellectual property theft to expedite their success.
