“Our defense industrial base can barely fill demand for key munitions used in Ukraine and the Middle East. Congress must act now to remove China from key supply chains and restore industrial capacity needed for our nation’s defense.” realclearpolicy.com/articles/2024/…

🚨ICYMI: China tried to cripple the #1 US drone maker before the election. China's DJI has a near-monopoly position in drones despite sanctions by multiple US agencies. The CCP is flexing their supply chains to cripple US competition. Critical piece by Adam Klein

New in RealClearPolicy: China tried to destroy America's leading maker of small drones. Lessons: *Our defense-related supply chains are dangerously dependent on China. *We must act to rebuild industrial capacity in defense-related sectors. realclearpolicy.com/articles/2024/…

🚨ICYMI: China’s attempt to cripple Skydio, the leading U.S. drone-maker, reflects the CCP civil-military fusion strategy to defeat the US.  Adam Klein explains how our national security is deeply undermined by dependence upon CCP supply chains 👇 realclearpolicy.com/articles/2024/…
