🚀 A spokesperson for China’s military stated that the People’s Liberation Army had driven away the American warships—a claim China routinely makes following U.S. freedom of navigation operations (FONOP) in the region.Senior Capt. He Tiecheng, the People’s Liberation Army Southern Theater Command spokesperson, referring to the Chinese name for Scarborough Shoal, said in a statement, “On August 13, the U.S. Navy’s destroyer USS Higgins (DDG-76) entered the territorial waters of China’s Huangyan Dao without authorization from Chinese government. The Chinese PLA Southern Theater Command sent its naval troops to track, monitor, warn, and expel the U.S. Navy vessel in accordance with laws and regulations.”A spokesperson for U.S. 7th Fleet disputed this and stated, “China’s statement about this mission is false. USS Higgins conducted this FONOP in accordance with international law and then continued on to conduct normal operations. The operation reflects our commitment to uphold the freedom of navigation and lawful uses of the sea as a principle. The United States is defending its right to fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows, as USS Higgins did here. Nothing China says otherwise will deter us.”In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why Chinese claim of ousting USS Higgins doesn’t hold water ?#defenseupdates #usshiggins #usvschina Chapters:0:00 TITLE00:11 INTRODUCTION01:37 SPONSORSHIP – NordVPN02:11 BACKGROUND04:11 USS HIGGINS 06:09 ANALYSIS

Japan has received its first F-35B fighter jets from the United States, while also inking a deal to sell 11 Mogami-class frigates to Australia. Just days later, a Chinese Navy destroyer crashed into a Chinese Coast Guard ship while in a reckless pursuit of a Philippine Coast Guard vessel east of Scarborough Shoal. If China had hit the Philippine ship, it would have triggered an international incident. But could it have activated Manila’s Mutual Defense Treaty with Washington? And what impact might this episode have on tensions in the region? In this episode, we discuss the significance of these major arms deals among U.S. allies in light of China’s rising maritime aggression.Our Guests:Tony Hu Former U.S. Department of Defense Senior Director for China, Taiwan and MongoliaLai I-chung Prospect Foundation President

US officials at the federal and state levels are passing laws to restrict Chinese firms from buying American real estate, particularly farmland.Other restrictions involve Chinese investments in US-based companies, and attempts to “claw back” outstanding Chinese investment in the United States and across the world.But these policies are irrelevant, as Chinese investments in the US are a tiny fraction of the profits earned there. Typically, countries running trade surpluses will re-invest those cash flows into the country, either by lending (buying bonds) or in new capital formation.Chinese regulators, however, are simply moving these hundreds of billions of dollars outside the US, to banks outside SWIFT. Then, they are invested here in Mainland China, or to BRI projects in friendly countries.Closing scene, Zhongshan Symphony Ferris Wheel, Guangdong

The United States and China agreed to pause tariff hikes on each other’s goods for an additional 90 days, according to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Monday. Without the agreement, tariffs were set to immediately surge, risking a return to ultra-high levels that had formed an effective blockade on trade between the world’s two largest economies.

A potential blockade of Taiwan burst into the American consciousness in 2022 when China showed its displeasure about then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s visit by surrounding the island with missile impacts. This and subsequent Chinese exercises appeared to simulate a quarantine or blockade. This possibility was not a surprise to regional experts and the Taiwanese themselves, who had long been aware of this threat. Among the five types of joint campaigns discussed in Chinese doctrinal writing is the “joint blockade campaign” (联合封锁战役), and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has signaled that it would consider such blockade actions in the event that it took action against Taiwan. Such a blockade would not just affect China, Taiwan, and the United States. The disruption of international trade, particularly restrictions on computer chip production, would affect every country on the planet.Given this political and security environment, it would be prudent to study all forms that a Chinese blockade of Taiwan could take in order to inform the policies of Taiwan, Japan, and the United States. Yet, there has been little agreement about what a “blockade” would entail, and still less quantitative analysis of possible scenarios.This report proposes a framework for understanding the range of blockade scenarios, analyzes them with a series of 23 wargames, and assesses the operational challenges that the respective parties would face in implementing and countering a blockade. The project does not argue that conflict, including a blockade, is inevitable or even necessarily likely. However, the project does argue that conflict is possible, given China’s commitment to reunification, using force if necessary, and its continuing military buildup. This project, therefore, concludes by proposing policy changes to better deter a blockade and to cope with one should it occur.This project was funded by a grant from the Smith Richardson Foundation.

India has overtaken China as the leading smartphone exporter to the United States. Between April and June 2025, 44% of all smartphones sold in the US came from India, compared to just 25% from China. This surge is driven by Apple’s strategic shift. Once deeply tied to Chinese manufacturing, Apple has steadily moved iPhone production to India. As of April this year, India-made iPhones were worth $22 billion in exports. The shift is part of a broader trend. Samsung and Motorola are also moving some production to India. For global tech, India is emerging as the new manufacturing hub. But challenges remain. Donald Trump has threatened 25% tariffs on iPhones made in India, casting a shadow over this progress.
