On March 3, Forward Defense senior military fellows US Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Crouch and US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Mulder published an article in Defense News titled “Why Biden’s new China czar requires comprehensive policy authorities.” In the article, LtCol Crouch and Lt Col Mulder argue that the Biden administration’s China czar must serve as the hub for developing comprehensive policy regarding competition and cooperation with China.
Allowing the China czar to play the role of key policy integrator can both drive policy toward clear goals and provide priorities for implementation.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
