In my last interview at @SecureDemocracy, my @TAMU @BushSchool classmate @michaelsobolik and were asked by @johnsfeng of @Newsweek to comment on @chairmang's new China Select Committee. Enjoy!

"Two significant milestones in the Canada–Philippines defence relationship: the signing of a Mutual Logistics Support Arrangement, and the signing of a Statement of Intent on Strengthening Defence Cooperation."

Canada and the Philippines strengthen defence partnership with new arrangement: https://t.co/cNgcBwOORy

This thinking is simply delusional, the result presumably of desperation.

The United States bombed Iran constantly for ~6 weeks. Then we blockaded Iran. The idea that one night of bombing would alter Iran's calculus now simply beggars belief. (1/n)

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

Kicked off our AUKMIN meetings yesterday with what has become a tradition morning run for @RichardMarlesMP and me.

Proud to give Richard my local @RotherhamRugby team shirt and to wear his local @GeelongCats top - a representation of our nations deep friendship.

Today we celebrate Portugal, its culture, its long and rich history, and its strong commitment to the European project.

Feliz Dia de Portugal! 🇵🇹

Long weary of such comparisons as "Sulu Sea = New Somalia" or "Ukraine = Taiwan" I partnered with my friends at RSIS Thomas Lim and Eric Ang to pen a new piece addressing the narrative comparing Straits of Malacca to Hormuz. Your critique most welcome.🙏🏽👇🏽 https://t.co/gkj8pEJyl8

[Philip Shetler-Jones @shetlerjones]

PRC reflex is so odd. Japan and Philippines decided to discuss their overlapping rights, so China starts badgering commercial shipping as a way to retaliate?

The EU and Republic of Korea are strengthening our Strategic Partnership – to cooperate more on security, trade, the economy and industrial policy.

We are working together for the prosperity and security of our citizens.

Mark is simply making the argument that a better job has to be done to explain the importance of Taiwan and the stakes to the American people. Is that so unreasonable?

Imagine the CIA cultivated ties with an unknown mayor of a 5th-tier city in China thinking she is a "rising political star". What this story by @amyyqin reveals is the many grifters in the overseas Chinese community who marketed their services to Beijing with little substance and the lazy CCP united front officials eager to dole out funds to fulfill their own KPI.

ASPI Senior Fellow @graham_euan spoke to @abcnews about 🇰🇷's plans to acquire nuclear powered submarines, noting: "They haven't put a dollar figure on it. That ambiguity is, in a funny way, more honest because they don't know what they don't know."

I don’t have his exact comments handy but Deng Xiaoping clearly recognized the importance of rare earths in 1991 when he visited a VW factory in Shanghai. Incidentally @JosephTorigian pointed out to me recently that Deng first talked about rare earths in (I think it was) 1964 !

[APF Canada @AsiaPacificFdn]

Canadian MPs plan an official #Taiwan visit as Beijing blasts 'hurtful' trips and bars New Zealander lawmakers.

APF Canada's @VinaNadjibulla says this trip will be crucial to continuing dialogues with Taiwan. "It’s important from a perspective of democratic solidarity. At a time when democracies are under assault...we do need to work closely together."
