Divestment from China’s High-Tech Industry to Protect US National Interests

Hudson Institute Senior Fellow and Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue Senior Advisor  Nury Turkel hosts former Under Secretary of State Keith Krach, who is co-founder and chairman of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue, at the Hudson Institute for a conversation on divestment from Chinese technology.

Listen in to the discussion on Chinese surveillance technologies and implications for democratic freedom and norms, privacy, and national security. The pair discussed divestment from Chinese companies complicit in human rights abuses that spawned a movement on college campuses, and the need to strengthen defenses against the Chinese high-tech companies that present serious threats and challenges to US national and economic security, data privacy, and democratic freedoms.
