The convergence of Russian aggression and Chinese technologies presents a new and unique security threat to global supply chains, according to one security expert.
Clete Johnson, a partner at Wilkinson Barker Knauer, said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the partnership between Russia and China presented an “epochal shift” in the security space, possibly exceeding in consequence that of 9/11 or the end of World War II.
“It’s a world-historically significant event and invasion,” Johnson said.
Speaking at an April 26 event hosted by the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank, Johnson said that the security of information and communications technologies would shape the course of the coming decades.
