Demetri Evan Feigenbaum I fear these undisciplined utterances are talking our way to war. Even actions like new rules on semiconductor fab, taken unilaterally, push China to conclude the die is cast and we seek to destroy them.

Our readers want to know what decision makers say - esp when comes to Taiwan. And if you read the story you will see the sceptical quote 😉

One complication is studying in China will in many cases make it harder to get security clearances for certain jobs in the US government. #Catch22

Definitely recommend applying for my old internship with GMF Asia! It was great to be a part of a program doing interesting work on Japan and Asia. Plus, it's an excellent team led by Bonnie Glaser / 葛來儀 🇺🇦 and the new Deputy Director Tobias Harris!
