This report by Charles Parton and created in partnership with the Council on Geostrategy sets out to answer three interlinked questions: 1. Are the CCP’s scientific and technological objectives a threat? 2. What are the dangers of allowing technology to flow to and from the PRC? 3. How can Britain, as well as other free and open countries, mitigate the threat while working with the CCP on other issues where there may be shared interests?
