It\u2019s October 17th. You\u2019re listening to the President\u2019s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.\n------\nIt\u2019s a big week for China-related news. The Communists are gathering for the first time in five years to pick a new president and chart a path forward for the regime. We\u2019ll talk about three key takeaways from that gathering and why you should care.\n\nAs always, I\u2019m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar.\nFirst, an update on the Battle for the Pacific. We\u2019re learning that an island nation is sending its police officers to China, and I\u2019ll explain who it is and why it\u2019s important.\n\nSecond, if you\u2019re buying gifts for the holidays, beware: You may end up buying goods made by Chinese slaves.\n\nAnd as always, we\u2019ve got a listener question. Today it\u2019s about the CIA\u2019s assessment of increasing odds that we\u2019ll see a new-clear war in Ukraine.\n------\nPlease remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.\nEmail: PDB@TheFirstTV.com\nLearn more about your ad choices.
