\u201cAs a former Marine, Deputy National Security Advisor, I was juggling the most serious national security threats facing the United States. I think TikTok is near the top. Near the top, okay? Think for a moment how preposterous it is that we are in a situation where the main platform is controlled by a hostile totalitarian government. The main platform by which a whole generation of Americans communicate and acquire their news.\u201d<\/strong>
\u2014 Matt Pottinger<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Matt Pottinger<\/strong> is a distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution and chairman of the China Program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.<\/p>\n

Matt served as U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor from 2019 to 2021. In that role, Matt coordinated the full spectrum of national security policy.\u00a0 Before that, he served as the NSC\u2019s senior director for Asia, where he led the administration\u2019s work on the Indo-Pacific region, and in particular its shift on China policy.<\/p>\n

Before his White House service, Matt spent the late 1990s and early 2000s in China as a reporter for Reuters and The Wall Street Journal<\/em>. He then fought in Iraq and Afghanistan as a U.S. Marine during three combat deployments between 2007 and 2010. Following active duty, Matt ran Asia research at Davidson Kempner Capital Management, a multi-strategy investment fund in New York.<\/p>\n
