With more than a dozen years in the Pacific as a senior military leader, Major General Craig Weldon had a front-row seat to China’s behavior. This presentation explores what is happening: geopolitically, militarily, and economically as China expands its sphere of influence. Learn about the strategic importance of the Malacca Straight, the South China Sea, the exploding growth of China’s military, and their encroachment on the “second island chain” – where the U.S. begins its day in Guam. Craig will also draw parallels between China’s ambitions in Taiwan and Russia’s current invasion of Ukraine.
