China’s economic strategy is flawed, but it can still “give Beijing enough leverage to advance an important goal: minimize global opposition to its domestic and foreign policies,” writes @audryewong. foreignaffairs.com/china/chinas-e…

Read @audryewong on China’s coercive economic strategy—and how Beijing is using both carrots and sticks to “pursue its interests with relative impunity”: foreignaffairs.com/china/chinas-e…

“For now, China is happily capitalizing on the opening the United States has created to expand its economic reach.” Read @audryewong on Beijing’s potential path to greater economic influence: foreignaffairs.com/china/chinas-e…

China’s willingness to use both its carrots and its sticks incentivizes other countries to avoid confrontation and leaves Beijing to pursue its interests with relative impunity—while the United States increasingly struggles to rally the world to push back, writes AEI’s @audryewong. foreignaffairs.com/china/chinas-e…

“Using its economic carrots and sticks may give Beijing enough leverage to advance an important goal: minimize global opposition to China’s domestic and foreign policies,” writes @audryewong. foreignaffairs.com/china/chinas-e…

While Japan and its G7 partners have built mechanisms to coordinate against formal coercion, there is no clear focal point for governments to target when Chinese pressure takes the form of patriotic consumer action, writes AEI's @audryewong. wsj.com/opinion/china-…

China does not always rely on charm offensives towards its #Borderlands neighbors but has also regularly used economic coercion. Read @audryewong, Viking Bohman, and Victor A. Ferguson's new study on China's use of sanctions to shape the behavior of its neighbors.

In light of Eric Adams’s recently aborted mayoral campaign in New York City, it's clear that corruption not only weakens our democracy but also facilitates foreign authoritarian influence in America. | @audryewong nationalreview.com/2025/10/chinas…

NEW REPORT: @audryewong breaks down China's propaganda messaging that casts democracies as inefficient and glorifies authoritarian governance. She finds that China's pro-regime propaganda campaign is highly effective at influencing individual political attitudes.

AEI's @AudryeWong quoted on Beijing's attempt to stifle dissent among the Chinese diaspora.

@AudryeWong testifies that #Taiwan is the "tip of the spear" of PRC political influence operations in the US and globally. Watch full testimony at CECC hearing "Stand with Taiwan: Countering the PRC's Political Warfare and Transnational Repression" @ youtube.com/watch?v=_iM_4E…

TESTIMONY: @audryewong testified before @CECCgov that China has aimed to assert its sovereignty over Taiwan via transnational repression of the Taiwanese diaspora and its supporters. The US must address how the CCP gains traction in these communities. 🧵(1/5)

Beijing’s use of trade restrictions during coercive bargaining with the United States is increasingly bold, including tapping on a newly formalized sanctions toolkit, writes AEI's @AudryeWong. thewirechina.com/2025/07/13/chi…

Whoever becomes the mayor of New York city, he will have to address the CCP's influence and transnational repression in the city. How to do it effectively and in a rights-respecting way? Check out this piece by @audryewong at @AEI theamericanenterprise.com/beijings-forei…

The modes and methods of China’s foreign influence efforts fundamentally threaten not just US national security but also the healthy functioning of US democracy and the rights and liberties of ethnic Chinese communities, writes AEI's @audryewong. theamericanenterprise.com/beijings-forei…
