On April 28, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Nicholas Eftimiades was quoted in Nikkei Asia in an article about suspected Chinese spies in Germany and the UK. Eftimiades was quoted as saying, “They are attempting to drive a wedge between Europe and the United States, implementing a divide-and-conquer strategy.” He was also quoted warning about a “possibility of retaliation — even arbitrary arrests of Europeans in China.”
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.
