CSET's Emily Weinstein spoke with University World News on China's strategy to become the global leaders on science and technology research.

Ryan Fedasiuk's research on China's media manipulation found that 20 million part-time volunteers and 2 million paid commentators have been recruited to alter China's public opinion online.

China’s strategy to grow its science and technology talent includes: 1) improving domestic education; 2) attracting overseas Chinese talent; and 3) attracting foreign talent. While China’s commitment to domestic education reform has achieved remarkable results, significant challenges remain.

The United States and its allies must develop targeted and coordinated policies to respond to unwanted Chinese technology transfer—gathering more data, raising awareness of tech transfer, and coordinating investment screening procedures as part of a broader agenda of technology alliance cooperation.
