Do American intelligence communities need to rethink secrecy when it comes to cyber warfare It s something New York Times national security correspondent and best-selling author David Sanger suggests in his new book, The Perfect Weapo samba rose n: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age. The classifications surrounding cyber is one of the biggest reasons that we ve got a continued threat.

President Trump may have committed his biggest strategic blunder vis a vis China during his first full week in office, when, with a quick signature, he withdrew the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, says top China expert Christopher Johnson. The TPP was the way to get China to address a lot of what we re now trying to get them to address with tariffs, said Johnson, who was for years a senior China analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency, and who now holds the Freeman Chair in China Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. It may be the biggest strategic mistake the United States has ever made, he said.The TPP, a signature policy achievement of former President Barack O adidas samba adidas bama, would have interconnected 12 nations ndash; while excluding China ndash; in an intricate set of trade rules meant to minimize regional dependence on Beijing while slashing tariffs.
