  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “I saw that Huawei just put out a new laptop that it boasted was AI capable, that uses an Intel chip. I think it demonstrates that what we're focused on is only the most sensitive technology that could pose a threat to our security. We're not focused on cutting off trade, or for that matter containing or holding back China.” 3 hours ago

    Connor Fiddler “Nearly half of the Indo-Pacific appropriations directly reinforce the submarine industrial base. While this investment will enhance deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, the immediate impact will be supporting the American economy.” 23 hours ago

“A leader more open to influence or subject to greater checks would not likely have implemented such a draconian policy [spring 2022 lockdown in Shanghai], or at least would have corrected course once its costs and unpopularity became evident. But for Xi, backtracking would have been an unthinkable admission of error.”

“After lionising Xi [Xi Jinping] for many months, the president was absent from the front page of the People's Daily newspaper five times in May - just below the unofficial threshold that something may be afoot. Li [Li Keqiang], by contrast, has been slightly more visible as state media shared a transcript of his economic summit on social media, further intensifying speculation. From late April through May, corresponding to new questions over the handling of COVID in Shanghai and pressures on the economy, the signals have to some extent been mixed. It has no longer been all Xi all of the time. This has led to speculation that perhaps Xi is facing headwinds within the Party over his handling of the crisis - and that this might be an opportunity for Li, who may have very different ideas about where to go with the economy.”

“I'm very worried where this is going because the current lockdown in Shanghai has been looking like it is going to end after this May holiday which means most people can probably walk around their neighbourhoods but for most factories around the East coast they are not in a very good condition. Taking notice of what is happening in Shanghai, many other cities are taking precautionary measures - even with one COVID case a whole city can be locked down. We might be looking at a situation where 30 cities might be locked down simultaneously. That is hugely disruptive to the supply chain.”

“The Hsiung Sheng could reach most bases under the Chinese People's Liberation Army's Eastern Theatre Command, including those near Shanghai and the province of Zhejiang. It could greatly boost the national army's capacity to delay or paralyze the communist forces' pace of an invasion of Taiwan, making it hard for them to achieve a rapid war.”
