Defense Writers Group
29 May 2025
Moderator: Welcome all to this Defense Writers Group on what I think is an incredibly important and vital topic – China’s AI Infrastructure Surge: How PRC Data Center and AI Models Bridge Military Ambitions and Global Connections.
Our VIP guest speakers are Ylli Bajraktari. He’s President and CEO of the Special Competitive Studies Project. Greg Levesque, CEO and Co-Founder of Strider Technologies. And Libby Lang of SCSP also. She’s an author of the report.
The ground rules are the same as always. You can record audio for accuracy of quotes but there’s no rebroadcast of audio or video. I’ll post a transcript as soon as it’s ready.
I got one advance question request from Sydney Freedberg, but with this group just raise your hand on the icon. I’m sure we’ll have time for everybody.
I’d like to open by asking Ylli and Greg, because the report is extremely complicated and dense, if you want to give us a couple of minutes of top line before we go to questions, I would welcome that.
Mr. Bajraktari: Absolutely. Thank you, Thom. Thanks again for hosting us. I think the Defense Writers Group has always been a good venue for us when we have these kind of interesting reports to release before we release it to our website and our other channels.
