    Ending DOJ’s China Initiative

    Join Michael Ellis, Visiting Fellow for Law and Technology, at The Heritage Foundation or a discussion on the Biden Administration’s decision to end DOJ’S China Initiative.

    Prior to joining Heritage, Mr. Ellis was general counsel of the National Security Agency and served in several different national security roles in the Trump administration. Prior to his service at the White House, Mr. Ellis was general counsel of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

    The event will be moderated by Prof. Adam Klein, Deputy Director of the Strauss Center for International Security and Law.

    ——

    DOJ launched a “China Initiative” in November 2018 that sought to to identify and prosecute trade secret theft, hacking, and economic espionage; protect U.S. critical infrastructure against threats from Chinese foreign direct investment and supply chain compromises; and combat covert efforts to influence the American public and policymakers. In February 2022, the Biden administration announced it would end the initiative.

    Mr. Ellis will discuss foreign policy and national security consequences of the decision and the benefits of the China Initiative.

    Constitutional Studies Luncheon

    There’s a standard story we tell ourselves about America: that our fundamental values as a country were stated in the Declaration of Independence, fought for in the Revolution, and made law in the Constitution. But, with the country increasingly divided, this story isn’t working for us anymore—what’s more, it’s not even true. As Kermit Roosevelt argues in this eye-opening reinterpretation of the American story, our fundamental values, particularly equality, are not part of the vision of the Founders. Instead, they were stated in Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and were the hope of Reconstruction, when it was possible to envision the emergence of the nation committed to liberty and equality.

    We face a dilemma these days. We want to be honest about our history and the racism and oppression that Americans have both inflicted and endured. But we want to be proud of our country, too. In The Nation That Never Was, Roosevelt shows how we can do both those things by realizing we’re not the country we thought we were. Reconstruction, Roosevelt argues, was not a fulfillment of the ideals of the Founding but rather a repudiation: we modern Americans are not the heirs of the Founders but of the people who overthrew and destroyed that political order. This alternate understanding of American identity opens the door to a new understanding of ourselves and our story, and ultimately to a better America.

    America today is not the Founders’ America, but it can be Lincoln’s America. Roosevelt offers a powerful and inspirational rethinking of our country’s history and offers a shared past that we can be proud to claim and use as a foundation to work toward a country that fully embodies equality for all.

    The Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice and the Rothko Chapel present the seventh annual Frances "Sissy" Farenthold Endowed Lecture (2021-2022), which features renowned political activist and author Arundhati Roy. LBJ School professor Raj Patel will engage Roy in a conversation about “Fascism, Fiction, and Freedom in the Time of the Virus.”

    Arundhati Roy, author of the Man Booker prize-winning The God of Small Things (1997) as well as The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017), has devoted the past decades to advocating for justice, equality, and political transformation. She is a preeminent critic of the economic, social, and political inequalities produced by neoliberal globalization. Her work includes leadership on environmental causes, opposition to India’s policies on nuclear weapons, and activism and advocacy against imperialist military interventions. Since 1998, Roy has published twenty nonfiction books, most recently Capitalism: A Ghost Story (2014), My Seditious Heart: Collected Non-Fiction (2019), and Azadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction.  (2020).

    Raj Patel is a research professor in the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin and a senior research associate at the Unit for the Humanities at Rhodes University. His latest book, co-authored with Rupa Marya, is Inflamed: Deep Medicine and the Anatomy of Injustice (2021).
