In a world rattled by President Trump's tariffs and his scorn for Western allies, the defense secretary struck a rare note of continuity on security partnerships. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Asia's security leaders on Saturday that as Europe takes on more of its own defense, the United States would work more closely with Indo-Pacific allies. Together, he said, they would jointly build more weapons, expand training, and deter China from trying to seize disputed territory, including Taiwan.

State labor programs were aimed at lifting one of the nation's poorest regions out of poverty, but they have also served as a tool to erode resistance to Chinese rule.

Xi Jinping vem se preparando para este momento há anos. Em abril de 2020, muito antes de o presidente Donald Trump lançar uma guerra comercial que abalaria a economia global, o principal líder da China realizou uma reunião com altos funcionários do Partido Comunista e expôs sua visão para virar o jogo contra os Estados Unidos em um confronto. As tensões entre seu governo e a primeira administração Trump estavam em ebulição devido a uma rodada anterior de tarifas e restrições tecnológicas.

Good explanation by @ryanl_hass on why Trump can’t just hash it out with Xi over the phone. Chinese diplomacy is painfully scripted. The last person in the world Xi is going to engage with without guardrails is Trump.
1/ Secretary Lutnick’s message is important for setting expectations. Chinese President Jiang Zemin sent a telegram of condolence to George W Bush on September 11, 2001, but beyond that, it is exceedingly rare for a PRC leader to initiate outreach to a US president. (🧵)
