The New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy on Friday, April 11, 2025, at the National Press Club in D.C. launched a series of policy analysis and recommendations on the escalating technology race with China. The compendium “Future-Proofing U.S. Technology: Strategic Priorities Amid Chinese Tech Advancement” covers topics including AI innovation and regulation, cryptocurrency, alternative payment methods, cybersecurity, and critical mineral supply-chain sustainability.   

Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff gave opening remarks; and compendium authors and industry experts participated in a panel discussion highlighting the immediate opportunities related to tech innovation and regulation in which the United States can engage, and the associated risks. With the launch of this body of work, New Lines Institute seeks to start an action-oriented conversation with policymakers, industry leaders and academics.
