Their mission is to educate state lawmakers and advocate for legislation that addresses Chinese \u2063Communist influence operations and other\u200b hostile government threats.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>States on the Front Lines Against Foreign Adversaries<\/h3>\n<p>According to Lucci, states have long been targeted by well-resourced and technologically advanced foreign adversaries, \u200bparticularly communist China. He states, \u200c&#8221;The \u2064Chinese Communist Party is determined\u200d to supplant the United States and reshape global norms according to its authoritarian model. They aggressively pursue economic leverage over state and local governments, suppress the speech of\u2063 Chinese dissidents within America, and infiltrate critical infrastructure\u200c and American society\u200d itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>State Armor&#8217;s approach to combatting the threat from China involves four key areas: protecting critical infrastructure, safeguarding supply chains, countering influence operations, \u200dand preparing for potential \u200darmed conflict in the \u200bPacific, as tensions rise with China&#8217;s threats against Taiwan.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>China&#8217;s Aggressive Overtures\u200c Towards Taiwan<\/h3>\n<p>China&#8217;s recent aggressive actions towards Taiwan, which it claims as part of its territory, have further complicated its relationship with the United States. Taiwan, being \u2063the world&#8217;s leading producer of semiconductors, plays a crucial role in the US military&#8217;s weaponry, \u200bmaking the situation even more concerning.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Lucci&#8217;s initiative has gained \u2064support from\u2062 prominent lawmakers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-cia-director-critics-slam-biden-over-move-to-pursue-iran-on-nuclear-deal-absolutely-chokes\/\" title=\"Former CIA Director, Critics Slam Biden Over Move To Pursue Iran On Nuclear Deal: \u2018Absolutely Chokes\u2019\">national security experts<\/a>.

Traditional efforts to combat \u2064these threats have predominantly been implemented\u200d at the federal \u200blevel.\u200d However, recent events have highlighted the urgency to take a more localized approach to ensure the\u2062 safety and integrity of our\u200c democratic institutions.<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s\u2064 Communist regime has been expanding \u2064its influence operations on\u2063 multiple fronts, including\u200c academia, technology, and the media.
