"With Flournoy as senior adviser, Boston Consulting Group’s defense contracts grew from $1.6 million in 2013 to $32 million in 2016. Before she joined, according to public records, BCG had not signed any contracts with the Defense Department." prospect.org/api/amp/world/…
"Flournoy ... had also become CEO of the Center for a New American Security in 2014. The think tank had $48 million on hand, and defense contractors donated at least $3.8 million while she was CEO. By 2017, she was making $452,000 a year." prospect.org/api/amp/world/…
'WestExec says they do not lobby. “We’ll tell you who to go talk to, but we’re not going to go in there for you, and we’re not going to facilitate the introduction,” said one staffer. One of their offerings ... is an “on-call National Security Council.”' prospect.org/api/amp/world/…
"Flournoy also joined the board of Booz Allen Hamilton in October 2018, and it has signed 61 contracts with the Defense Department since. Last year, the role earned her $192,474 ($76,986 as cash, $115,488 in equity)."

The Economist on Hong Kong. "The 18-page bill, which took effect that day, was harsher even than the gloomiest analysts had predicted. It is one of the biggest assaults on a liberal society since the second world war."

"The law also applies to activities abroad, by anyone. The wording of the bill suggests that a foreign firm which co-operated with, say, the American government in applying sanctions on China would have no defence if the party moved against it."
economist.com/leaders/2020/0…
"This is a moment in modern China’s history a bit like the massacre in Beijing in 1989. It is a demonstration of the party’s ruthless determination to crush opposition no matter what the cost to its global reputation"

My piece in @TheEconomist on "the first combat fatalities on the mountainous border between India and China in 45 years, drawing to a close an era in which Asia’s two largest powers had managed their differences without bloodshed." economist.com/asia/2020/06/1…
"Indian military sources" to The Wire: “The area where they met is very treacherous and mountainous. In the pushing and shoving, the three seem to have slipped. We don’t know if it was deliberate or it happened during the pushing and shoving” thewire.in/security/india…
"Sources said the Indian Army patrol had set out to check on positions of the Chinese troops to ensure they had retreated. The troops were attacked by a much larger group of Chinese soldiers, said the sources, who did not wish to be identified." thehindu.com/news/national/…

A fresh thread on the India-situation (Tuesday June 2nd), to avoid cluttering too many. Yesterday's thread is below.
.@horror06 in the Times of India. "The India-China standoff is likely to drag on through the summer, sources have said. As troops dig in on both sides, India expects this to last for some time" timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/india-ch…
"At this point, the two sides are facing off at four points — three points in Galwan, one at Galwan junction or Patrol Point 14, PP 15 and Gogra PP 17. The fourth face-off point is at Pangong Tso" timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/india-ch…
