"U.S. actions may impede Chinese innovation and growth only in the short term, and thereafter actually speed up its technological advance." In @ForeignAffairs, @CharlesKupchan and CSET's @HannaDohmen & @jacob_feldgoise argue for a change in strategy.

Washington’s export controls could end up helping Beijing.

CSET's @Lauren_A_Kahn shares insights with @sciam on the growing risks from orbital debris.
🚨Three Chinese astronauts couldn’t return to Earth after space junk hit their spacecraft. Scientists warn this could be just the first of more accidents caused by orbital debris. There's concern. “There are a lot of people up there,” one source told me. https://t.co/QwlJM48U7V

The reported debris strike impact on Shenzhou-20 is a reminder: even tiny fragments in space can be catastrophic. A 10cm object at orbital speed has the energy of several kg of TNT — like a 550lb object hitting you at highway speed on Earth. NASA calls orbital debris the single

Sir Roger Bannister stands among the most famous neurologists in history, yet few associate his name with neurology. His fame rests not in medicine but rather in the fact that he was the first individual officially acknowledged to have run a mile under four minutes. A stone in

Timely analysis from @KathleenCurlee!
China’s #Shenzhou-20 crew was forced to delay their return to Earth after a suspected space debris impact on their spacecraft. This is not a one-off event, and could happen more and more as LEO is continually crowded by space debris. 🧵

See @KathleenCurlee and @Lauren_A_Kahn's latest findings on space debris below!
New from @CSETGeorgetown: Seven decades of launches, collisions, and anti-satellite tests have left more than 34,000 tracked pieces of debris orbiting Earth. A handful of events by just a few countries created most of it. 🧵

We’ve been littering in orbit for 67 years, yet it’s been hard to see who’s responsible & where it all ends up. So @KathleenCurlee & I built a data interactive that maps all 34k+ pieces of space debris tracked by DoD—showing that 73% comes from just 20 sources. Sharing a few

Looks like Trump is considering allowing exports of advanced semis to China. Nvidia argues that its chips won’t enable PRC military modernization. So @SamBresnick and I dug through hundreds of PLA procurement documents yesterday. We find evidence of the opposite. 🧵

THREAD 1/ It’s great President Trump didn’t relax export controls on advanced semiconductors during his meeting with Xi. Why? Because @ColeMcFaul and I have ample evidence that China's People's Liberation Army wants to buy a range of Nvidia chips for military AI applications.

To win the AI race, Washington should stop fixating on the prospect of superintelligence and start emphasizing “practical investments in the development and rapid adoption of AI,” argue @mchorowitz and @Lauren_A_Kahn. https://t.co/ErZAnAzhP2

By chasing superintelligence, America is falling behind in the real AI race.
