The Administration Made a big move on huawei with Edward Lawrence covering it from the white house. Reporter President Trump is not ready to make a deal with china. Every countermove or every move to increase pressure on chinese, are met by countermove by the chinese who have not backed off, or come back to the table, when china had stimulus for its companies and economy, white house announced 90 days for companies to stop selling to huawei. The news heard on mornings with maria. It is another 90 days for the u. S. Telecom companies, some of the rural companies are dependent on huawei. So were giving them a little time to wean themselves off but there are no specific licenses being granted for anything. Okay. Reporter this is relief chinese were looking for, they said u. S. Should allow huawei to continue to do business with u. S. Companies. The they are looking for chinese to reverse course to buy agriculture from the United States. This delay comes as tim cook, the apple ceo, met wit
Footnoted. Ten years ago i wrote a book called cyberwar and we said things own one then that military would become dominant. And then attacking each other in cyberwar infrastructure is the target set. And im not just stealing information speak in and we were criticized. So at one level wrote this ten years later just to say we were right. But we also wanted to say what has changed . And while we were right about some things we were wrong about others. So if you look at the major taxes of the last three years for the russian militarys. So if you look at that target set the United States more or less admitted the power grid is the infrastructure target. But with the largest destructive attack and other than attacking them and stealing information so we were wrong you cannot defend yourself. We were talking to dimitri the other day and he said you can have all the defenses in the world but if the massage is after you you are screwed. So the major difference of the landscape from ten years
Committee will come to order. Without objection the chair is authorized to declare a vereces of the committee at any time. This full Committee Hearing is convened regarding the administration ee administrations attack on the aca. I recognize myself for five minutes to give an Opening Statement. We are hear today because of on march 25th, 2019, the Trump Administration filed a two sentence letter with the United States court of appeals with the fifth circuit reversing its own previous position in the case of texas versus United States and asserting for the first time that it would not defend any portion of the Affordable Care act in the court.

I wanted to spend some time today talking about about the economic threat from china in general and to the nation, and what that threat means to the American Military and intelligence. Then i have a fairly specific proposal i would like to talk about to begin improving our economic defenses. Some are referring to this as a new cold war. Its as much economic as military. The economic nature of this cold more is new for america. We havent faced a competitor with near the economic power they have since we faced the british. Nor have we ever faced a competitor that has the economic agility we pride ourselves on. This economic competition is going to require that we have fundamentally new ways of thinking about defense and National Security. Chinas gdp is on track to surpass americas. As measured by purchasi
