Interagency Coordination & Response Strategy

Effective response to China’s technological challenge requires coordinated action across U.S. government agencies and industry partners. Key elements include:

1. Unified Governance

Establishing a central coordinating office to manage national risk assessments, streamline reporting, and align policy actions.

2. Threat Intelligence Integration

Merging intelligence from federal agencies, the Defense Industrial Base, and major technology firms to create a common threat picture.

3. Standardized Data Sharing

Implementing shared platforms to facilitate secure and rapid exchange of cyber indicators, supply chain information, and risk findings.

4. Joint Decision-Making

Coordinated sanctions, export controls, cyber defense operations, and diplomatic actions to reduce China’s strategic advantages.

5. Public-Private Collaboration

Ensuring defense contractors, critical infrastructure operators, and cloud service providers are active contributors to risk assessments.

Interagency alignment is the core requirement for an effective national defense posture.
