The White House (via OMB) strongly protests Congressional efforts within the FY 2027 NDAA to prohibit the purchase of warships from foreign shipyards. The Administration argues that these restrictions undermine national security by limiting flexibility and hindering its strategy of leveraging allied yards, such as in the 'Finland model,' to drive investment into U.S. shipbuilding capacity. This signals a significant policy shift toward integrating international partners into advanced naval construction, suggesting the Pentagon is prepared to bypass traditional domestic build requirements for future combat vessels.
The World Is Trying to Govern AI. The UN Wants In.
English Summary
Global efforts to govern AI are proliferating across numerous international summits, making the UN's Global Dialogue a critical test of multilateral legitimacy. While these forums have generated high-level commitments, the UN offers a unique universal platform appealing to developing nations seeking inclusive governance and preventing technological dependencies. The article warns that if the UN fails to coordinate, AI governance will fragment into incompatible national and regional policies. This fragmentation will lead to normative competition, allowing powerful states and economic blocs to set rules that increase transboundary risk and diminish global accountability.
中文摘要
全球在治理人工智慧（AI）方面的努力正透過眾多國際峰會蓬勃發展，這使得聯合國的全球對話成為檢驗多邊合法性的關鍵考驗。儘管這些論壇已產生高層次的承諾，但聯合國提供了一個獨特的全球性平台，這對尋求包容性治理並避免技術依賴的發展中國家具有極大的吸引力。本文警告指出，如果聯合國未能有效協調，AI的治理將會碎片化，分裂成不相容的國家和區域政策。這種碎片化將導致規範競爭，使得強權國家和經濟集團能夠制定規則，從而增加跨境風險並削弱全球問責制。

The Western Pacific remains a highly active theater defined by sustained U.S.-led military exercises and escalating great power competition. Key evidence includes continuous joint operations, such as RIMPAC 2026 in Hawaii and the deployment of CSGs into the South China Sea, juxtaposed with increased naval activity from both China (PLAN task groups) and Russia near Japan's critical straits. These movements underscore a strategic push by non-allied powers to assert presence and challenge regional norms. Policy implications dictate that allied nations must maintain robust multilateral cooperation and interoperability to safeguard freedom of navigation and manage escalating tensions in the Indo-Pacific.

The article argues that the post-Cold War era of U.S. unipolarity, established by the perceived invincibility demonstrated during the Gulf War, has ended. This decline is driven by globalization and technological diffusion, which have democratized advanced military capabilities, allowing regional actors to challenge major powers. Consequently, policymakers must prepare for a more volatile international order marked by frequent crises, heightened costs for securing global trade chokepoints, and reduced predictability from American power. The new rules dictate that great powers can no longer effortlessly impose their will through force.

The article argues that current market borrowing costs are rising independently of the Federal Reserve's policy stance, challenging the assumption that the Fed controls all rates. Evidence shows significant increases in key rates—such as 2-year Treasuries and mortgages—even while the effective federal funds rate remains steady. This divergence occurs because market rates reflect complex factors like inflation expectations, credit risk, and geopolitical volatility, which are outside the central bank's direct control. Policymakers should therefore recognize that sustainable rate moderation requires credible disinflation and disciplined government budgets, rather than relying solely on Fed intervention.

Despite recent trade setbacks, the U.S. retains fundamental structural economic leverage over China, particularly in high-tech sectors and intermediate goods. While Beijing can temporarily weaponize specific resources like rare earths, these chokepoints are vulnerable to diversification efforts by the West. The article argues that the most effective strategy is not unilateral action but coordinated multilateral pressure from U.S. allies across Asia and Europe. Washington must therefore coordinate its economic statecraft with partners to maximize damage to China’s export-dependent model.
