Michael Lucci is the founder, CEO, and chairman of State Armor. He helps states enact policies and solutions that protect their assets from foreign adversaries like communist China.

“They’re trying to invade our homeland, and they likely have developed the capacity to make life very difficult, to create crises within the United States—whether it’s power, whether it’s wastewater treatment, whether it’s telecommunications,” he says. “They have laws that require those companies to engage in espionage. So why are we letting them sell connected devices of any type into the United States?”

In this episode, we dive deep into how the Chinese regime has managed to infiltrate our critical infrastructure and communications systems at the local, state, and federal levels.

“It’s the largest military buildup since World War Two is what China is doing right now,” says Lucci. “If they’re just in our back doors, listening, reading, following everything we’re doing, following the pattern of life for important officials across the country, that’s a pretty deep problem.”
