I'm not sure why there is so much interest and attention to the author's appearance and background when the real significance of her ASPI piece (regurgitated on Twitter) is the frank disclosure of the objectives of these China-focused NGOs threatened by the withdrawal of USAID funding, and the explicit framing of those activities as contributing to an ideological war prosecuted by ASPI, USAID, et al. to demonstrate and propagate to the world notions of western superiority and Chinese inferiority.

1. All these people do is spread hate. We know who the target is.

2. Obviously, they are completely full of it.

3. With the funding gone, they will not have a job, this could be the last time we ever talk about that evil.

4. They went after the current president. Serves them right.

5. They thought they were untouchable, due to freedom of the press, in other words ideology was their calling card. These zealots got it where the sun don't shine. That is why this story is interesting on so many levels.

This is one of Arnaud Bertrand's dumb takes, it's actually people like him who crave for western validation. Why would a worthless piece of paper between Uncle Sam and its dog affect China's 2027 reunification plans at all? Last time I checked China considers the Taiwan question a matter of internal affairs and DGAF about what others think.

Why did China create six gen fighters? To ask the west for the recognition of China's reunification? No, it's to redraw the maps in West Pacific with or without the west's permission.

I don't think it's a dumb take and the point he raised is valid. He's a westerner after all and he's from that culture so he understands the subtlety of how they move. Basically, what he's trying to get at is that the US and co are slowly trying to create casus belli for war, constantly changing their positions but doing it in clandestine ways so as not to arouse suspicion. America wants to re-establish or rather re-enforce its hegemony, however they know that time is running out with the way China is growing and modernizing its military, it will reach tipping point where establishing that hegemony will be damn near impossible.

Lmao, why does the US need to create casus belli for war now? They've had casus belli for war with China since 1949. If anything the US is looking for a way to out of their Taiwan commitments, saving face for the inevitable reunifcation of China.

US unipolar hegemony is already gone, the whole world recognizes it, even Marco Rubio admits it.

Looks like the British are demanding unrestricted access to every single Apple user. Worldwide that is.

Not even the British are so full of themselves to think they can actually demand this on their own power.

This is almost certainly the CIA using MI6 as a condom to make the demand so they can spy on Americans without technically spying on Americans, since it’s the British who will be doing the actual dirty.

All such ‘British’ access requests will need to go through an U.S. agency, so the British almost certainly won’t be able to make any independent requests themselves without US approval first.

The CIA would have had back doors from the very start and can see anyone’s data any time them wanted. The only problem that this will now fix is that domestic US laws makes it difficult for them to make use of any such illicitly gain data. Now they can just say it came from the British and not have any restrictions.

The horse is true to itself and is pure and wholesome. But HorseFace can decapitate the horse with one bite of those weapons grade chompers.

This right here is an APT reply to @name that keeps raging against China's soft power sucks schtick.

"A fleet of the Chinese Navy conducted a far-sea combat drill in the Pacific Ocean during the Spring Festival holiday. The drill aimed to test the fleet's combat readiness and coordination under complex maritime and aerial conditions. The fleet comprised the Type 055 large destroyer Zunyi, the Type 054A frigate Hengyang and the Type 903 replenishment ship Weishanhu."
