During the 2022 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), I got the chance to speak with former acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker. Now the co-chairman for America First Policy Institute’s Center for Law & Justice, Whitaker speaks on the intellectual property theft by communist China and how it costs America millions if not billions of dollars. During his time as acting attorney general, Whitaker oversaw the criminal prosecution of Huawei in the United States over theft of technology and fraud.
I also spoke to Ian Prior, who worked in the DOJ as principal deputy director of Public Affairs. He explains how China stole rice and grain technology. He also talks about the need to take the issue seriously, regardless of which side of the aisle you are on.
Together with Whitaker and Prior, we discussed the recent decision by the Justice Department to end the China Initiative.
