Bit I thought was interesting but too long to make it in the piece was a speech from Xi Jinping in April 2020.

/一是要拉长长板,巩固提升优势产业的国际领先地位,锻造一些“杀手锏”技术,持续增强高铁、电力装备、新能源、通信设备等领域的全产业链优势,提升产业质量,拉紧国际产业链对我国的依存关系,形成对外方人为断供的强有力反制和威慑能力。二是要补齐短板,就是要在关系国家安全的领域和节点构建自主可控、安全可靠的国内生产供应体系,在关键时刻可以做到自我循环,确保在极端情况下经济正常运转。/

Appreciate the invitation from @ChannelNewsAsia for this short piece. Inspired by an event last week where some tech&corporate folks expressed surprise at🇨🇳blocking the Manus-Meta deal. I thought the writing had been on the wall for a while.

Commentary: By blocking Manus sale, China sends a warning to tech companies

China’s move to undo Meta’s acquisition of Manus was not surprising, but the lack of public criticism was, says Chong Ja Ian from the National University of Singapore.

New, with Carnegie China:

US unpredictability has allowed China to capitalize on its positioning as the “responsible great power”. Paradoxically, the more China wins the perception game, the more likely expectations will rise for Beijing to deliver not just words but to demonstrate with its deeds.

The more China wins the perception game, the more likely expectations will rise for Beijing to deliver not just words but to demonstrate with its deeds.

Vol.61 世界重回丛林法则,新加坡以及“全球南方”会如何应对?

听《907编辑部》上小宇宙。 声音,一种最古老也最温暖的传播方式,正在复兴,缓解着人们的“视觉疲劳和信息焦虑”,更激发起人际间的连结与共情,构筑起一片思想的栖息地。 在140字或一帧影像定义世界的时代,我们对深度对话的渴求从未消退。播客不是算法下的碎片回声,而是一场精神围炉,那些被热搜关键词折叠的复杂议题,借由记者、观察者、新闻当事人的娓娓道来,我们放慢时间脚本,触碰事件本真的肌理。 在这场“听觉复兴”的浪潮中,澎湃新闻国际新闻中心焕新推出播客节目“907编辑部”,不止于编辑部的故事,我们希望通过声音传递出国际热点新闻事件背后,更多有趣的观察与鲜活的故事,共同探索这个真实而多元的世界。
