Rush Doshi, C.V. Starr senior fellow for Asia studies and director of the China Strategy Initiative at the Council on Foreign Relations joins for the first episode of the Endless Frontiers podcast. Rush and Endless Frontiers Executive Producer Marshall Kosloff discuss the decade-long goals of Endless Frontiers, America's advantages and disadvantages relative to China in the mid-2020s, the degree to which the national competitiveness conversation can be reduced to our position relative to China, and the need for reindustrialization, defense reform, resilience, and national cohesion in the face of current and emerging challenges.

0:00.0	Marshall here. Welcome back to the realignment. Hey everyone, welcome back to the show. For today's
0:05.8	episode, I'd like to share a big project I've been working on for the past year. Aside from having
0:10.8	a kid back in January, this project has been the number one source of missed realignment
0:15.5	publication dates for episodes. Last week, via my work at UT Austin, I executive produced a big new event on the
0:23.1	future of national security, technology, and American competitiveness called Endless Frontiers,
0:28.3	as they would partner with the Council of Foreign Relations, America's Frontier Fund,
0:32.3	AVC, Rice University, and many other great people and organizations. You could read more about endless

0:43.0	recorded with my co-organizer and partner Rush Doshi, director of the Council on Foreign Relations
0:48.6	China Strategy Initiative. Previously, Rush was the deputy senior director for China and Taiwan
0:53.9	at the National Security Council. In this conversation, we discussed the deputy senior director for China and Taiwan at the National Security Council.

1:07.2	Unless Frontiers only came about because of the realignment.
1:10.5	Every single partner came to me
1:12.1	via this show, so a huge thank you to everyone who supported me over the past six years.
1:17.8	I've never wanted to primarily be known as a podcaster and always want to use this show to do
1:22.8	bigger things and organize the type of engaged listeners who listen in the first place.
1:28.0	So moving forward, I'm excited to particularly dial in on my focus on national competitiveness,
1:33.5	technology, national security, and of course the abundance agenda.
1:36.8	So more to come in both those spaces.
