"Xi is driving the US and Chinese tech ecosystems toward a divorce, no matter what policy decisions are made in DC. It thus makes little strategic sense to invigorate China’s AI industry...with scarce chips at a time when US AI firms are hungry for more." https://t.co/wmYtR93kDt

Supercharging China's artificial intelligence capabilities by selling them Nvidia AI chips is a dangerous mistake that threatens U.S. dominance.

TIKTOK: TAKE A GOOD DEAL OR NO DEAL AT ALL Last year, Congress passed a bill with overwhelming support demanding that Chinese parent company ByteDance either sell TikTok to an American company or have it banned from U.S. app stores beginning Jan. 19, 2025. After multiple legal

TikTok serves the CCP by harvesting our data, manipulating our children, and censoring the truth. A true divestment from China would be a massive win. But any deal that leaves the door open for Beijing should be rejected. @Heritage China expert @YatesComms on @MorningsMaria:

"In Moscow, Jaishankar said New Delhi was 'very perplexed' by the US position, noting that Washington had not singled out other major buyers of Russian oil such as China." Yeah, I'm also perplexed. I can't see the strategic rationale for sanctioning India but not China. Dumb.

It was an honor to host China Select Committee Chairman @RepMoolenaar for the @Heritage BC Lee lecture this week. He is leading pushback against the CCP in Congress. In this clip, I use moderator's privilege to discuss China chip controls. Full event: https://t.co/KTUW4VIhcx

“The question isn’t just, who builds the most powerful [AI and biotech] models? It’s, whose values are embedded in them?.... We cannot let [the Chinese Communist Party] write the code that governs human lives.” - @RepMoolenaar

This chart comes up every few years in my mentions and I need to clear the air once and for all. Yes, that is indeed me. I keep 8 nukes in a storage unit in Fairfax.
Estimates of how many nukes are owned by whom. I am somewhat concerned by some chap called Jeff who has 10 nukes...... he has been keeping quiet about it all this while.

America currently enjoys a multi-year lead in cutting-edge AI technologies. This lead is protected by certain export controls. However, those controls need updating. @Cold_Peace_ @BryanBurack

The race to develop artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities will play a decisive role in the “New Cold War” with China. America currently enjoys a multi-year lead in cutting-edge AI technologies....

Trump must protect American AI from China. America enjoys a multi-year lead in cutting-edge AI tech, protected by export controls that prevent China from obtaining the best tech and slow its progress in developing AI with dual-use capabilities. Those controls now need updating.

If we want India to be a partner on U.S. core interests, we must be a partner to India on its core interests, including terrorism. Otherwise, we will be disappointed. Deservedly so.

India-Pakistan. Ukraine-Russia. The Drone Age is upon us. And the only people that accurately predicted this was coming was...pretty much everyone, from the moment drone technology was introduced. We can't say we weren't warned.

Experts took apart some Chinese-made solar panels and found rogue, undocumented communication devices in the power inverters. [Which should surprise no one]. China's response: "We oppose the generalization of the concept of national security" Lol, you can't make this shit up.

Folks are going to get very hung up on whether the U.S. "mediated" an India-Pakistan ceasefire, or just helped bridge the gap and encourage the two to talk. Personally, I don't think it matters much. India was compelled to send a message after Pahalgam and that message was sent.
