United States administrations and US allies, including Israel, face structural and resource challenges in protecting the security and integrity of research and innovation in the face of China’s all-of-country efforts to “introduce, digest, absorb, and re-innovate” their achievements for modernizing their military. These efforts also seek to realize Beijing’s ambition to make China the dominant global actor across all high-end and strategic technologies by mid-century. Institutions in the academic and private sectors are ill-equipped to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to research and innovation. Tuvia Gering is joined by Dr. Glenn Tiffert, co-chair of the Hoover Institute’s China’s Global Sharp Power initiative, and Jeff Stoff, director of the Center for Research Security and Integrity (CRSI), to discuss their extensive work on how institutions can protect research security and integrity while maintaining a healthy relationship with China.

Former Chinese Senior Military Colonel and China Forum expert at Tsinghua University Zhou Bo sat with the INSS’ Tuvia Gering to talk about China’s “new security architecture for the Middle East.” What does it imply for America’s current security framework in the region? Most importantly, what will China do if Iran acquires a nuclear weapon or is attacked by an Israeli-US-Gulf coalition; will Beijing support their efforts to prevent proliferation, or is the Sino-US rivalry so intense that China is willing to support Iran in its hostility toward the West, the same way it supports Russia in its war of aggression in Ukraine?
