"The United States and China are now locked in a high-stakes geopolitical competition."

"To avoid these outcomes, the central aims of U.S. strategy in the near-term should be to enhance U.S. competitiveness."

"The Chinese Government is undertaking coercive activities across the board, economically, militarily, and politically."

"Congress should call upon Commerce, Treasury, and other departments and agencies to develop tools to retaliate against Chinese firms and the interests of relevant government officials."
