1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:06,310 --> 00:00:08,421 So china is absolutely competing with 3 00:00:08,421 --> 00:00:10,532 us now . Right ? They have a plan and 4 00:00:10,532 --> 00:00:12,477 those are probably more aggressive 5 00:00:12,477 --> 00:00:14,532 actions in many spheres than what we 6 00:00:14,532 --> 00:00:16,588 would do back to them and we're just 7 00:00:16,588 --> 00:00:18,699 now kind of becoming aware of some of 8 00:00:18,699 --> 00:00:18,440 the information campaigns , the 9 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,718 information operations , the economics . 10 00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:27,210 So the chinese are using all their they 11 00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:29,210 call comprehensive national power , 12 00:00:29,210 --> 00:00:31,154 right ? So it includes economics , 13 00:00:31,154 --> 00:00:33,377 includes finance and includes obviously 14 00:00:33,377 --> 00:00:35,377 the military as well as diplomacy . 15 00:00:35,377 --> 00:00:34,930 Right ? And they're they're leveraging 16 00:00:34,930 --> 00:00:37,520 that across the globe in a way that we 17 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,631 really haven't seen for for decades . 18 00:00:39,631 --> 00:00:41,853 You know , really probably a generation 19 00:00:41,853 --> 00:00:43,909 at least for those in uniform . They 20 00:00:43,909 --> 00:00:46,131 see how we fight jointly . They see how 21 00:00:46,131 --> 00:00:48,353 we fight combined with our partners and 22 00:00:48,353 --> 00:00:50,464 allies . And so they've created these 23 00:00:50,464 --> 00:00:52,631 new structures now again it's new only 24 00:00:52,631 --> 00:00:52,380 five years old at this point . But they 25 00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:54,269 have a plan and they're executing 26 00:00:54,269 --> 00:00:56,491 against it because they know that's how 27 00:00:56,491 --> 00:00:58,658 modern warfare is going to be caught . 28 00:00:58,658 --> 00:01:00,547 And they created this whole thing 29 00:01:00,547 --> 00:01:02,491 called the Strategic support force 30 00:01:02,491 --> 00:01:04,602 which is basically their space forces 31 00:01:04,602 --> 00:01:04,410 and their cyber forces combined . 32 00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:07,320 Because she Jinping , who's the leader 33 00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:09,700 of the Communist Party and the chairman 34 00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:11,790 of the Central Military Commission 35 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,022 understands that the information domain 36 00:01:14,022 --> 00:01:15,911 and they think of the information 37 00:01:15,911 --> 00:01:17,467 domain as a domain of war . 38 00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:27,397 What if they turn off the satellites , 39 00:01:27,397 --> 00:01:29,674 what if you can no longer use an A . T . 40 00:01:29,674 --> 00:01:31,674 M what if you can't use your credit 41 00:01:31,674 --> 00:01:33,619 cards right ? How does that affect 42 00:01:33,619 --> 00:01:35,619 every every american on their daily 43 00:01:35,619 --> 00:01:37,730 lives or what if they reach in and in 44 00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:40,063 order to achieve their objectives right ? 45 00:01:40,063 --> 00:01:42,119 In order to achieve the invasion and 46 00:01:42,119 --> 00:01:42,110 occupation of Taiwan , which is their 47 00:01:42,110 --> 00:01:44,560 long term goal , right ? What if 48 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,782 they're able to shut all that down here 49 00:01:46,782 --> 00:01:48,893 in the United States ? Right . And so 50 00:01:48,893 --> 00:01:51,060 it's just a whole different ballgame . 51 00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:52,949 How are we gonna how are we gonna 52 00:01:52,949 --> 00:01:54,893 compete in that future environment 53 00:01:54,893 --> 00:01:57,004 against someone that has , you know , 54 00:01:57,004 --> 00:01:59,060 near real time capabilities to reach 55 00:01:59,060 --> 00:02:01,227 out and touch ? That's not just in the 56 00:02:01,227 --> 00:02:03,338 A . R . But , you know , back here on 57 00:02:03,338 --> 00:02:02,480 the on the homeland , 58 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,440 they're the only ones at this point 59 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,496 that can challenge our international 60 00:02:19,496 --> 00:02:21,607 and our national security interests , 61 00:02:21,607 --> 00:02:23,662 right ? Um so the war on terror will 62 00:02:23,662 --> 00:02:23,630 continue to go on that . We're gonna 63 00:02:23,630 --> 00:02:25,860 continue to have small battles , most 64 00:02:25,860 --> 00:02:27,971 likely throughout the Middle East and 65 00:02:27,971 --> 00:02:30,138 things like that . But really the only 66 00:02:30,138 --> 00:02:32,082 one that's posing at this point an 67 00:02:32,082 --> 00:02:32,060 existential threat , a serious 68 00:02:32,060 --> 00:02:33,880 challenge to uh you know , our 69 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,880 leadership , you know , our leading 70 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,824 role in the world and our interest 71 00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,102 globally is going to be the piracy and , 72 00:02:40,102 --> 00:02:42,269 you know , the Communist Party's Armed 73 00:02:42,269 --> 00:02:44,491 wing , which is the People's Liberation 74 00:02:44,491 --> 00:02:42,920 Army
