Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

@QiaoJiaXY GDP is pointless. Median income is better way to understand how economic growth gauging quality of life for average citizens. A country can have high GDP but low medianincome. TW’s GDP growth driven by exports does not translate to better wages, at least not yet. SG, CN the same

@myanTokenGeek Zero sympathy for the founders. Instead of building a compliant company, they opted for a rapid corp restructuring to make the company palatable to Meta. Singapore washing is pointless, shein and TikTok have proven it. DNA matters more and geopolitics trumps corporate law now.

[JL @johkmk]

@KELMAND1 Your DNA can't be erased by reincorporation. The only thing Singapore achieved was giving Meta a legal pathway to proceed with the acquisition IF China APPROVES it. There is no truly safe harbor for Chinese founded AI companies, the only options is to be listed in HK or China.

The solar panels destroyed by Israel's army are used to provide the Lebanese town of Debl with electricity, as well as supply power to its water station.

The IDF says the actions seen in the video do not align with their values.

@MarkSimonHK @Lingling_Wei Valid point. FDI inflows represent a much smaller percentage of the massive China economy nowadays. Impact still matters though, but less critical.

📈 China’s Trade Hits Record $6.6 Trillion, Surplus Reaches $1.18 Trillion

China’s total trade reached $6.61 trillion in the twelve months ending Q1 2026, including $3.90 trillion in exports and $2.72 trillion in imports, resulting in a $1.18 trillion trade surplus.

Since the onset of the U.S.–China trade war, China’s exports and trade surplus have expanded rapidly. Between March 2018 and March 2026, exports rose by 67%, while imports increased by 41%. Over the same period, the trade surplus surged by 185%, highlighting a widening gap driven by stronger export growth.

@OopsGuess LOL Early 1960s marks the pivotal turning point for the HK economy, laboror intensive industries exploded, per capita income tripled. The contrast between China HK during this period is STRIKING. 80% of all investment came from local HK businessmen in the 80s. U have no clues.

BREAKING NEWS: Top U.S. Nuclear Chief Caught LEAKING Sensitive National Security Information to Stranger, Reveals Army Chemist Was Exposed to U.S. Chemical Nerve Agent, Confirms U.S. Strike Killed Children in Iran, Discloses U.S. Plans to ‘Kill Iran’s New Supreme Leader’

“If he [Mojtaba Khamenei] doesn't change his ways, yeah, they're [United States] going to kill him.”

“The easiest way to get intelligence…send a pretty girl, talk to the guy…I have to resist your eyes.”

“Your eyes have mesmerized me so much…Almost like you're an intelligence.”

Andrew Hugg, a U.S. Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, was caught on hidden camera casually revealing sensitive information to a stranger in a public restaurant. Andrew Hugg, Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, in charge of nuclear and chemical safety was caught on hidden camera releasing information regarding the U.S. Nuclear Information. He claims the U.S. still possesses nerve agents and says a U.S. Army chemist recently died from exposure.

He also acknowledges U.S. airstrikes have killed children in Iran, calling it “collateral damage,” and revealed to the journalist how nuclear launch decisions are made in real time.

Hugg described how the United States could assassinate Iran’s next leader if he “doesn’t change,” while admitting the U.S. has no plans to use nuclear weapons: “We’re not going to nuke anybody.”

All of this was casually revealed to an undercover journalist in a restaurant. This raises serious questions about this official's judgment, security, and what’s really happening behind closed doors.

We have reached out to the Pentagon and U.S. Army for comment and they are working on a response.

Yesterday, I listened to Elizabeth Rao’s heartbreaking story about losing her mother, Dr. Jane Wu. A dedicated Chinese American scientist, Dr. Wu faced discrimination and racial profiling by her employers, leading her to take her own life. Her death was felt throughout the research community, especially by those of Asian descent who faced unjust scrutiny from Trump's China Initiative.

Elizabeth reminded us that there's a human cost to this targeting and that our greatest minds should never have to face this type of ethnic profiling.

Sudan:

As Sudan’s civil war enters its fourth year:

▪️More than nine million people remain displaced in Sudan.

▪️29 million face acute hunger.

▪️ The conflict has claimed an estimated 150,000 lives.

A humanitarian catastrophe.

@BeijingDai You can criticize Israel's policies but don't single out or generalize negatively about any race. This is racist and antisemitic.

[JL @johkmk]

@RnaudBertrand @DanCollins2011 Not really, he is not one of the academics who have influence on Beijing’s foreign policies, the Tsinghua/Peking and Remin university associated with some thinktanks in Beijing link more directly with policy circles.

@DrJStrategy China has been actively developing the Polar Silk Road initiative to expand artic shipping, primarily focuses on northern sea route which runs along Russia’s coastline from Bering strait to the Barents. The war is a wake up call. Reasonable to be wary about SG’ long term future.

@jlaw520 U don’t see left right legislative gridlock, censorship keeps political polarization from spiralling, if political freedom rights aren’t high priorities for you, China offers a practical, convenient n enjoyable life, standout advantages on safety, cost n materials comforts. 😂
