Tonight – John B. Wells welcomes Joshua Philipp, award-winning investigative journalist, Senior Investigative Reporter for The Epoch Times, and one of America’s leading experts on the Chinese Communist Party. Newly declassified government documents have reignited one of the most consequential national security debates in modern American history, placing Communist China’s long-term strategy toward the United States under intense scrutiny. Together, John and Joshua examine the intelligence, the significance of the newly released files, and what they reveal about cyber operations, voter data, influence campaigns, unrestricted warfare, and the CCP’s decades-long approach to strategic competition. The conversation extends beyond a single election, exploring national sovereignty, critical infrastructure, information warfare, and the challenge of protecting a constitutional republic against an adversary that measures success over generations rather than election cycles. As new evidence enters the public record, The Dragon’s Playbook asks the question every American should be considering: What does victory look like through the eyes of the Chinese Communist Party, and how prepared is the United States to meet that challenge?
