'International partners have begun to pay closer attention to Taiwan’s experience. Officials in Taipei have shared intelligence with counterparts abroad and positioned their counter-espionage campaign as part of a broader effort to resist authoritarian influence,' writes Nathan Attrill.

Beijing’s coercion campaign against Taiwan is entering a more litigious phase. While military drills and cognitive warfare remain staples of its coercive playbook, China is now intensifying the systematic use of law to target Taiwan’s democracy. www.aspistrategist.org.au/chinas-taiwa...

China wants to add AI to the FTA with Australia. Here’s why that’s a dangerous idea, & what’s really at stake if we say yes. AI isn’t just another export sector. It’s infrastructure, ideology, & surveillance all rolled into one. My take (gift link): www.theaustralian.co...

Opening systems to Chinese AI is a risk we can’t ignore

There’s one thing China’s ambassador to Australia got right in a call to add artificial intelligence to the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement: “China has always viewed Australia and China-Australia relations from a strategic and long-term perspective.”

The idea that Taiwan might one day declare independence misses the core of the cross-strait issue. For many Taiwanese, especially those born after martial law, independence isn’t a destination; it’s the condition they already live under. www.aspistrategist.org.au/every-day-is...

'China’s use of trade bans and incentives has often been surgically targeted at politically sensitive constituencies, especially rural districts with high concentrations of fruit and fish farmers known to lean toward Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party,' writes @nathanattrill.bsky.social.

'In the contest between Taiwan’s limited resources and China’s coercive toolkit, the ground is shifting. The next defection may not be a surprise; it may be confirmation that Beijing’s long game is working,' writes @nathanattrill.bsky.social.

CCP mouthpiece Andy Boreham posted about the Tiananmen Square massacre, then deleted it. Again. He pulled the same stunt last year. You’d think by now he’d know what his handlers will and won’t tolerate. But nope.

CCP propagandist Andy Boreham deleted this thread about the Tiananmen Square massacre. As we outlined in our report on CCP-friendly foreign influencers, his bosses have ultimate control over what content he's allowed to post. https://x.com/AndyBxxx/status/1797650356727665115...

The decision in 1971 was about representation, not about sovereignty. It was a political resolution about which government should hold China’s UN seat, not a legal ruling on the status of Taiwan. www.aspistrategist.org.au/un-resolutio...

UN Resolution 2758 was never about Taiwan. Beijing just pretends it was | The Strategist

Beijing’s campaign to erase Taiwan from the international system is built on a lie. Beijing routinely claims that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758, passed in 1971, settled the issue of ...
