In this @TheNatlInterest article “How China’s Sharp Power Chills Global Free Speech" I argue China continues exploiting asymmetry between free and unfree systems, placing free ones at a strategic disadvantage. The Kylian Mbappé episode is part of a pattern nationalinterest.org/feature/how-ch…

The expanding shadow war that @cepa has spotlighted is a concerted campaign- a threat that spans geographies and domains. Any response from free societies therefore requires greater cross-domain cohesion, must be systematic, consistent

“These attacks are often viewed as temporary or opportunistic hybrid actions, but they’re not.”

@Walker_CT argues sabotage, drone incursions, cyberattacks, and targeted violence act as a concerted campaign designed to degrade an opponent without provoking a military response. Together, they are global shadow war.

Russia’s shadow war is not one country’s problem, and it will not be solved by one country’s response.

Attacks on infrastructure, information, and democratic institutions now stretch from the Baltic to the Black Sea. On the main stage at the Forum 2000 conference in Prague, CEPA Vice President @Walker_CT, former Lithuanian President @Grybauskaite_LT, and @RKiesewetter of the German Bundestag examined why the transatlantic partnership remains essential to confronting it. The session, co-organized by CEPA and Forum 2000 and moderated by MEP @AlexandrVondra, looked at the price both sides would pay for drifting apart.
