I don't normally use the language I am about to use but in this case it is completely accurate. The White House recently released their Indo-Pacific Strategy and in it they made the following statement: 1/n whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
Let me state in no uncertain terms: this is an absolute lie and the White House knows this is an absolute lie. This is why in spending bills O-RAN is being removed from every spending bill around. The White House is actively pushing an industry coalition that will 2/n
a) Give Chinese and Russian intelligence access to the source code of a USG backed telecom systems b) license USG and American firm technology to Chinese firms c) give technology to ENTITY list and PLA owned firms according to executive agency lists 3/n
The White House is not just engaging in political public relations they are actively lying about their attempts to include Chinese intelligence, military, and telecom firms in US and European networks.

Excellent thread and while I am definitely not a progressive nor have I ever been there is a lot to listen to here. Maybe for me the biggest is that many of the "given" parameters of US politics are breaking down in ways that the cliched elites simply aren't appreciating 1/n
Just to take two simple examples, black parents broadly support different school options like school vouchers when Dems and teachers unions are rabidly against. On the other side, there is pretty broad support for continued relatively high levels of immigration 2/n
We see this in both stated and observed preferences. The GOP has staked most of its platform however on the significantly smaller number of activists that believe strongly in limiting. There are many many example of how the old lines simply don't match the old coalitions 3/n

So even though I would generally rather unnfurl a Free Tibet Flag in Tianenman Square than discuss race because most any discusion on Twitter is just absurd BS, I am going to go against my better judgement and tell a recent story from my kids school 1/n
As they started growing up in China and very multicultural environment whether it was being literally the only white kid in every school or class, or playing with kids from all over the world in different settings my wife and I made a very conscious decision to NOT use 2/n
Many common descriptiive words to describe their friends specifically anything have to do with nationality. Most commonly that meant not describing friends as Chinese or Korean for instance and just calling them their tall friend or almost Seinfeldian like desciptors 3/n

Since absolutely NO ONE is getting the importance of this statement let me explain. The BIS under the Commerce Department a department not exactly known for being China hawks have added to the Mechanical Engineering Department at Southern University of Science and Technology 1/n
Does this name ring any bells? Anyone? Anyone?
This is THE EXACT department MIT Professor Chen Gang was working with that was the source of the charges against him which were recently dropped. So let's recap the situation then 3/n

Since it is a holiday and this idea for many reasons is in my head today, let me explain my framework of how I evaluate the primary hurdle for judging between virtue signalling and actual belief. An epistemelogical proof of belief if you will. Follow me a minute. 1/n
I hold a pretty cynical view that no matter what political party, country, background you come from when you are telling me loudly about your belief, it's probably BS. Why? I have no way of verifying anything you are saying. How do you verify a belief? How do you forecast 2/n
How someone will behave on a stated belief? You really can't. So how can we test whether a belief has moved beyond the ephemeral and into the tangible? Beyond observing them in the specific situation, I would posit what risks/costs are they willing to absorb in furtherance 3/n

Sorry to hit this again but this is the type of China discussion that just makes my head explode. Panda huggers and professors who claim to be China experts but don't actually pay any attention to the actual words, money, or data from China are the absolute worst. Follow me 1/n
Take the Chen Gang case that its some how racist. What is mind boggling is that China says they are going to target these people and these information types. China does this across multiple agencies from intelligence to security to military to shell companies to United Front 2/n
Again, China does NOT even attempt to hide their statements and macro-strategies on this point. They say it. Over and over. They fund the most well known agency the United Front to the amount of billions of dollars a year that we know about . This isn't a small organization 3/n

One thing that is very clear from the first year of the Biden administration is how vindicated Trump foreign policy people should feel and what a slow moving disaster Biden foreign policy is. Follow me on a short thread. 1/n
Even when there was some reasonable validity to the Trump and Russia story, on policy Trump kept a very steady policy of increasing policy pressure on Russia and ended even more hawkish than the last 4 years of the Obama administration. Biden has done nothing but try to 2/n
play nice or walk back Trump pressure policies and well here we are. Trump administration foreign policy on Europe and specifically Germany was you need to a) wear your big boy leiderhosen taking a greater role in your own security b) stand up to authoritarians. Trump admin 3/n
