Steven Casey asks about defanging China's global dominance strategy. Sims emphasizes the need to recognize China as an adversary and hold accountable those undermining U.S. interests for profit. He suggests a long-term approach involving decoupling from China, strengthening domestic supply chains and military, and building international consensus against Chinese business practices.

The U.S. needs to acknowledge China as an adversary and address internal actors who prioritize profit over national security.
A long-term strategy is required, including decoupling from China, strengthening domestic infrastructure, and building international alliances.
