===== 1. Short-Term Priorities - Monitor Chinese SOE: Currently 4 (Stagnation) - Preserve our own SOE: Currently 6, but threatened - Use domestic policy tools, Treasury efforts, or PR framing to stabilize - Prevent Worsening Economy marker from dropping us to 5 or below =====
# Medium-Term Options - Encourage economic resiliency (e.g., trade realignment, domestic investment) - Consider a cyber or covert option to worsen China’s posture if they regain momentum—but only if our Intel Advisor and Spec Ops aren’t needed elsewhere
# Foreign Influence Play - If China is slowed, we may want to increase U.S. alignment in: - Asia-Pacific - Africa - South America - Those are regions with existing Chinese influence and vulnerabilities

I’ll continue to monitor both the Chinese economic track and the U.S. domestic economy. If this crisis resurfaces and either side hasn’t improved, I’ll advise immediate mitigation steps.

Would you like to begin your opening phase now, Mr. President?
