As Beijing's actions increasingly threaten American interests, economy, security and values, it is critical that we identify and counter malign behavior where it exists. Interns interested in better understanding the nature of China's ambitions and activities can play a critical role in countering PRC malign behavior by researching publicly available sources, identifying actions (travel, social media, statements, engagements) of government officials, companies, institutions and private citizens, creating a tracker, and contributing to report that can be used to help policy makers shape decisions.
