VDL: "Europe should develop an instrument on outbound investment for a very small number but very sensitive technologies. This will form part of a new Economic Security Strategy which the Commission will put forward in the coming months.”

@pstAsiatech: Great discussion of issues around Taiwan, also recommend excellent book by @ryanl_hass, @BonnieGlaser, and Richard Bush: US Taiwan Relations.
Observation: the future of Taiwan is now well beyond just US China Taiwan relations. It is now a global issue. (1/6) 🧵
Indeed, the Taiwan challenge now also centers on the future of the semiconductor industry, the global economy, and all associated industries. It is a strategic long-term challenge that may have a military challenge, but clearly no "military solution." (2/6)
The Taiwan challenge arguably requires a new approach to addressing the key issues around the complex trilateral relationship. Things have changed markedly since 1982, and assessments and policy recommendations focused on deterrence seem woefully out of date, given stakes. (3/6)

Japan finally released rules last week touted as aligning with US export controls released last year @ #October7Surprise. But Japanese rule did not mention China, and was far from a complete mirroring of the US controls. What is going on here? Well, its complicated. A thread.🧵
First, media reports continue to talk about a “three way agreement” btwn US, Japan, and the Netherlands. The Japanese rule release demonstrates that each country will release unilateral controls.
Japan in this case has adopted very different controls from the 7 October US package. ft.com/content/768966…
Recent announcements from the Dutch government and tool giant ASML suggest some forward movement on a so-called “trilateral agreement” that would see some alignment from the Netherland and Japan on the #October7ExportControls. What is going on here? A thread.🧵
Last week media reports suggested that the Dutch government was moving forward with some new controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment. reuters.com/technology/dut…
A letter from Dutch Trade Minister Liesje Schreinemacher to parliament noted that “Because the Netherlands considers it necessary on national security grounds to get this technology into oversight with the greatest of speed, the Cabinet will introduce a national control list.”
Who Benefits From Confrontation With China?
America’s increasingly confrontational posture toward China is a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy that warrants greater scrutiny and debate.

"Rather than try to trip the competition, America should focus on figuring out how to run faster, for example through increased investments in education and basic scientific research."
"By the standards of superpowers, China remains a homebody. Its foreign engagements, especially outside its immediate surroundings, remain primarily economic."
