Dr. Jonathan D. T. Ward is an established expert on Chinese global strategy, with a focus derived from extensive fieldwork and academic study. His involvement ranges from traveling with truck caravans in Tibet to crossing the South China Sea by cargo ship in his early twenties, to accessing now-restricted Communist Party archives while a PhD candidate at the University of Oxford.

He is the founder of Atlas Organization, a consultancy specializing in these international dynamics. Additionally, Dr. Ward is multilingual, with fluency in Russian, Chinese, Spanish, and both Syrian and Egyptian Arabic.

His scholarly works include "China’s Vision of Victory" (2019) and his latest publication, "The Decisive Decade: American Grand Strategy for Triumph Over China" (2023), both of which delve into the intricacies of China's international strategies and their implications for global dynamics.

Dr. Ward is a frequent commentator on national and international television and radio programs, including appearances on Bloomberg, Fox Business, Fox, CNBC, MSNBC, and CNN International.
