china dominated from -- the strategy opposes foreign interference and political processes such as foreign intervention and the like since and it also opposes any efforts to close off vital waterways air spaces or information spaces. who would we possibly be talking about in all of this? when you hear us talking about what we'd like to achieve and prevent the most central concern is that china is the country who could conceivably achieve some form of hierarchical dominance in the region or inside a functional spaces perhaps creating a closed system of technology through 5g architecture are governing the internet according to close principles. the reason we are so concerned about this is a close world is fundamentally last say for the united states. u.s. economic austerity and national security fundamentally depend on interdependence and economic terms and in security terms so if china or anybody else closes off parts of the geographic region or functional space the united states itself will be less safe but it does not describe all the goals the united united states wants are cheaper there

with that in mind we would like to alert the public that we have identified that two foreign actors, iran and russia have taken specific actions to influence public opinion relating to our elections. first, we have confirmed some voter registration information has been obtained by iran and supposedly by russia. this can be used by foreign actors to attempt to communicate false information to register voters that they hope will cause confusion, chaos and undermine your confidence in american democracy. to that end we have already seen iran sending e-mails designed to intimidate voters to incite social unrest and damage president trump. you may have seen some reporting on this in the last 24 hours or you may have even been one of the recipients of those e-mails. this video and claims about nonfraudulent balance are not true even if they attempt to undermine the voter confidence, know that our election systems are resilient and you can be confident your votes are secure although we have not seen the same actions from russia just as they did in 2016, rest assured we are prepared for the

foreign policy. i am delighted to be joined by an outstanding panel of experts who will offer insights and analysis about what we can expect from either a second trump term or a biden presidency. they will also consider how a geopolitical europe would react to either scenario. before we dive into the conversation, i would like to take a moment to thank the turkish business and industry association for their support and collaboration which has helped make this event possible. we are grateful for the renewed support of our center on the u.s. and europe, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with them. as always, an ironclad commitment to independence is at the center of brookings' institution policies and values, and the views expressed here are solely those of the speakers. once again, thank you for joining us this morning. now over to thomas wright. thomas: thank you so much for that introduction, and thank you to all of you for joining us online this morning. when we first dev

thatroblem with foreign is the office of dumb foreign policy is not automatically smart foreign policymetimes the opposite of dumb is another dumb. i think we need to be careful about breaking the trump administration's china policy apart from the president's china policy. one of the things that makes it really hard for beijing to read this four years of the trump first-term is that there is such a gap between the agenda of the genuine hawks who really do want to become at least, if not decoupled from china, to stop assisting china's rise. they are in the national security council, they are at the pentagon, they are at the tap of the state department -- the top of the state department. hawks whoti-china have a problem with the way that china conducts globalization, with the way china conducts its policies toward china and taiwan, the way that it's crushing of freedoms in hong kong that are really real hot and the trump administration was complacent. over the last four years, he has unleashed the hawks as a kind of tactical negotiating move to set the chinese back on their heels. but th
