Thank you to everyone who attended ASPI USA’s Executive Intelligence Briefing on National Security & Tech Investment, at the American Australian Association in New York City!

We were delighted to share ASPI USA's work in the distinguished Murdoch Center, with its breathtaking view of the Manhattan skyline.

ASPI USA Deputy Director, Senior Fellow, and Director of Economic Strategy, Nerida King, kicked off the event by providing a compelling framework for understanding economic statecraft and competition with China, supported by pertinent empirical evidence on trade and critical technologies.

It was then an honor to have American Australian Association President, Steven Marshall, moderate a candid conversation with Australian Strategic Policy Institute COO, Andrew Horton. Andrew shared his family's personal experience enduring years of retaliatory abuse by the CCP, including death threats, stalking, and business sabotage, stemming from his son Mack's courageous stand against now-banned Chinese swimmer Sun Yang.

Finally, ASPI USA Executive Director, Adam Leslie, closed out the briefing by discussing the importance of aligning business and national security interests, and highlighting opportunities for engagement with ASPI USA.

Special thanks to our exceptional host, the American Australian Association!
