In a February 2024 interview with The Boston Globe, Puglisi said of China's challenge to U.S. policymaking: "At its core, it's the challenge of a Chinese system that really blurs public and private, government and military, and creates an unfair playing field for US companies." In a September 2024 testimony before the United States House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, Puglisi stated that she received legal threats from BGI Group for a report she wrote while serving at CSET. ==Publications==
