It’s October 17th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ It’s a big week for China-related news. The Communists are gathering for the first time in five years to pick a new president and chart a path forward for the regime. We’ll talk about three key takeaways from that gathering and why you should care. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, an update on the Battle for the Pacific. We’re learning that an island nation is sending its police officers to China, and I’ll explain who it is and why it’s important. Second, if you’re buying gifts for the holidays, beware: You may end up buying goods made by Chinese slaves. And as always, we’ve got a listener question. Today it’s about the CIA’s assessment of increasing odds that we’ll see a new-clear war in Ukraine. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.
