PUBLIC MEMBER MEETING and
SPECIAL BRIEFING on

CHINESE ESPIONAGE AND THE
RISING STRATEGIC THREAT FROM ASIA

When: Sunday, April 11, 2010 • 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Where: Marriott at Boca Center • 5150 Town Center Circle • Boca Raton, Florida

What the Briefing is About:
The rapid modernization of the Chinese military is to a significant degree being accomplished by the outright theft of U.S. technology, successful penetration of defense-related laboratories by PRC intelligence services, and the breakdown of both the U.S. and international export control systems. How these systems work - or fail to work - the technologies at risk and the long-term consequences of the processes involved will be covered, as well as what the average American citizen can do to force our government to clean up its act in handling these matters.

This briefing will have special appeal to those interested in espionage, advanced technology, future conventional military threats, and U.S. access to the natural resources that are essential to our national security and economic prosperity.
