About this Talk
As COVID-19 races across the globe, authoritarian regimes are rapidly integrating pandemic-related disinformation efforts into their larger information campaigns. These information campaigns, many of which specifically target the United States, signal the growing dominance of the information environment in greater geopolitical power competitions. Lee's analysis illustrates why it’s critical for the business community and government agencies to tackle not only the public health crisis of COVID-19, but also the global influence competition that has been triggered by the pandemic.
