Dunno how true this news is. The Indian media is the only other media talking about this. But if this is true, then I can only imagine that Supapowar India is not gonna be too pleased.

I wonder how the Jewish CEO of anthropic, Dario Amodei feels knowing that he just did a Nazi Germany and drove away talent because of his own racism? Then and again, self reflection isn’t a strong point amongst desert deity worshippers.

This is also the guy who had a fit when Deepseek came out and he went to congress to try to ban it. Apparently money and captive consumers are more important that AI

I'm all for military deescalation and peaceful negotiations, but this piece reads like the standard "international rules-based order" nonsense. Simply put, the US doesn't respect any of China's red lines, and if one party doesn't respect red lines it's not negotiating in good faith. What's the point of stating your position on matters when the other side doesn't pay any attention?

Personally I'd prefer that the PLA does less showboating; just to reduce the chance of accidents more than anything else. However, I think that the article is way too alarmist about sparking an accidental conflict. This kind of thing has happened before, and you can always walk things back if needed. What the article doesn't say is that, 1. the Americans can back down at any time, and 2. China's actions have been wearing down American, Japanese, and Taiwanese forces.
