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. #IndoPacific #Okinawa #wedgepolitics #foreigninterference @MLInstitute @AsiaPacificFdn @KAS_Canada @statecraft @ChinaBriefJT @DominoTheoryMag @LowyInstitute @ASPI_org @AsiaLens @ISDP_Sweden @CDAInstitute @CDACanadaACD @RIPS_admin @SPF_PR @ycapsjapan @PISM_Poland @EASCentre

What can't drones do in the Pacific? "Cheap standoff weapons have three primary shortfalls. First, the sheer volume of weapons required to achieve a desired effect is, paradoxically, prohibitively expensive unless they are employed in tandem with other capabilities. Second, even extended-range attack drones cannot reach targets deep inside China. And third, these weapons will not have the capability to destroy hardened or buried targets. New report from @StaciePettyjohn and @PhilSheers: https://t.co/YD7szFbOTD
