#Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “The #UnitedNations’ prohibition of violence also applies to the #Taiwan Strait.”
I would like to thank @bundeskanzler for these crucial words, which speak volumes.

There’s a phishing scam going around tonight to DC reporters who cover national security, purportedly inviting them to a briefing with Bridge Colby. Links to a URL not associated with the Pentagon.
Congratulations to @JamesPoliti, a great friend of almost 25 years. A fantastic journalist and superb human being. Sorry to see him leave @FT but huge congrats. And congrats to David, another pal who once had to suffer working with me 😉

Scoop: European and Asian allied nations have privately voiced concern with the admin about the FCC’s aggressive use of import bans on foreign-made advanced robotics, inverters and drones
The FCC battle with the tech industry has spilled over to Capitol Hill too, where both both Rs and Ds are backing a bill to impose oversight over the “covered list” process

AFP: According to a report yesterday by the Financial Times, Japan is months away from running out of supplies of the critical rare earth yttrium, and has asked the United States for help with encouraging China to ease related export controls. Does the foreign ministry have comments on this?
Mao Ning: China implements export controls on Japan in accordance with the laws and regulations. The aim is to thwart Japan’s remilitarization and attempt to possess nuclear weapons. China’s position of keeping the global industrial and supply chains of critical minerals safe and stable has not changed. All parties have the responsibility to play a constructive role to this end.

Please find my latest policy brief for @JIIA_eng Center for Global Outreach (CGO) on "Manufacturing Ambiguity — How Beijing Weaponizes Okinawan Identity Against the US-Japan Alliance"
It uses Chinese, Japanese and English language sources to analyze how #China attempts to create a wedge between #Japan and the #US to weaken the #alliance.
The tactics used by Beijing are also prevalent in #Canada as China attempts to drive a wedge between Canada and the US.
