American leadership in science and technology is at risk. As our own investment in research and development has dwindled, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has not only substantially increased their investment in the technologies of the future, but stolen American intellectual property in a way that has quickly closed what was once a formidable gap in scientific capabilities. As we’ve come to realize with our medical supply chains, a world in which we rely on the CCP for critical technologies – whether it be 5G or Artificial Intelligence – is a direct threat to our national security. But what is the government doing to combat the CCP’s predatory technology practices, and what more can be done to maintain America’s leadership in these critical fields?
To explore these questions, Rep. Gallagher is joined by Mike Brown, the Director of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) at the U.S. Department of Defense and the co-author of a Pentagon study on China’s participation in the U.S. venture ecosystem. While the conversation focuses largely on Mike Brown’s position at DIU, his experience as a Silicon Valley CEO, and how technological innovation will factor into great power competition with China, the two discuss more than geopolitics and whether or not the U.S. and China are entering a new Cold War. They also recommend bingeworthy shows on Netflix and elaborate the art of being in an amateur rock/dance band.
The name of the podcast, NEW Look, is a play on the area of Northeastern Wisconsin that Rep. Gallagher represents and President Dwight Eisenhower’s military strategy that
balanced Cold War military commitments with financial concerns. The purpose of the podcast is to examine the issues of the day through the lens of Northeast Wisconsin with a number of different thought-leaders.
