i am jane harman, president and ceo of the wilson center. today we are probing a complicated issue that is bedeviling policymakers all over the world. at least three parts of the china, and the u.s., the 5g supply chain. produced, center has at me get my prop, this is spectacular policy brief by melissa. there is moreled, to worry about then while way. i think you get the gist of this. walk to get this and read it. meanwhile what captures the attention around 5g is the china has developed superfast networks which will power edge technology. since chinese companies are required to comply with information request from chinese intelligence services, officials are concerned companies who want to incorporate this chinese technology will and up compromising their data and data of their users. beer ways it could compromised and we will talk about. while the mantra that defined the last decade of technological developments was moved fast and break things, just a suggestion maybe we should think about slowdown and assess. that is what you will hear to

i'm here at the wilson center. we have been looking at this question of economy and aspirations being unmet much in the arab middle east. you seem to be calling for fora national, regional, sometimes global effort on an investment led growth that would start matching education with opportunities. with that idea what are the three things you would like the u.s. in particular to do to move in that direction? >> one is, one level is purely a psychological thing. i would beg of the u.s. to show repeatedly that it is concerned and engaged. because there are many in africa who wonder whether there is a disengagement occurring. this is in terms of political psychology. it's very, very important that that appears, and they come back to my original point, which is that in the region there is an entire generation emerging who i think would really welcome that. you know, there's no point in casting aspersions but their other parts of the world to which a younger educated african may not see his future being shaped. so that's o

doing good work but we seek to have close partnerships with research centers like we had at the wilson center puller institute at the university of alaska fairbanks arctic domain awareness center as well as the coast guard academy for arctic study and policy. we are also need to have strong involvement from native leaders and indigenous people. how we incorporate and how we elevateat that native expertisen the arctic that have been informed by centuries by experience that must be a priority in the center should also be used as a joint command venue with canada and other partners. this would be effectively replicating the success of the model with the marshall center with germany. so since senator sullivan and i introduced this bill to establish this new dod arctic security strategy center we have gotten great input and i'm pleased to be seen interest from within our state and outside as well. several have reached out to our offices to expressed their interest and i think we've seen arctic security as a threat as well as as well as it certainly remains the likely spillover collect area confron
