23 h. ago Fighting back: Beijing builds its own ‘small yard, high fence’ to shut out US tech

“Small yard, high fence” was how Jake Sullivan, national security adviser under President Joe Biden, described US tech policy towards China. The approach, designed to fence off sensitive US technologies from China, was most commonly associated with export controls that, among others, restricted Chinese firms’ access to Nvidia’s advanced chips, the critical inputs for developing cutting-edge artificial intelligence systems. Beijing is now fighting back by taking a leaf out of that playbook. For...

50 h. ago Exiled crown prince’s plan for Iran is mostly aimed at Trump, researchers say

Rather than seeing it as an olive branch, many Chinese commenters interpreted the move as a sophisticated Trojan horse-style trap that aimed to make Beijing dependent on American technologies in advanced semiconductors and other chokepoint sectors.
