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.
Asia-Pacific Programme
English Summary
Chatham House’s Asia-Pacific Programme positions itself as an interdisciplinary policy platform providing objective analysis on major issues across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific. Its core approach combines independent research, regional partnerships, and direct engagement with decision-makers to shape practical and constructive policy outcomes. The programme supports its analysis through expert roundtables, webinars, conferences, and publications, while also advising private-sector and multilateral stakeholders. Strategically, this model implies that effective policy toward Asia-Pacific dynamics requires cross-sector evidence, sustained regional collaboration, and proactive dialogue between analysts and policymakers.
中文摘要
查塔姆研究所（Chatham House）的亞太計畫將自身定位為跨學科政策平台，針對南亞、東南亞、東亞與太平洋地區重大議題提供客觀分析。其核心方法結合獨立研究、區域夥伴合作，以及與決策者的直接互動，以推動務實且具建設性的政策成果。該計畫透過專家圓桌會議、網路研討會、國際會議與出版品支撐其分析，並同時為私部門與多邊利害關係方提供政策諮詢。從策略層面觀之，此模式意味著，若要有效應對亞太動態，政策制定必須仰賴跨部門證據、持續性的區域協作，以及分析人員與政策制定者之間的前瞻性對話。

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.

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.

The author argues that the new 'Section 301' tariffs, ostensibly targeting forced labor, are not a genuine human rights measure but rather an attempt to re-establish a broad, punitive tariff wall. Key evidence supporting this claim includes the rushed nature of the investigation (98 pages for 60 economies), the lack of specific economic harm analysis, and the imposition of disproportionately high tariffs that far exceed any proportional response. Strategically, the use of human rights language to generate revenue sets a dangerous precedent, potentially allowing future administrations to bypass legislative processes and misuse trade law. The article concludes by urging Congress to reform these laws before they cause further damage to international trade frameworks.

5.U.S. Navy Orders Low-cost Missiles to Expand Fleet, Allied Long-Range Maritime Strike Capabilities (USNI)
The U.S. Navy is prioritizing the procurement of low-cost, long-range cruise missiles through programs like CHAOS and CAMS to significantly expand strike capabilities for both its own fleet and allied partners. This strategic shift provides affordable precision munitions capable of striking targets up to 1,000 nautical miles, addressing critical stockpiles depleted by recent conflicts. By developing these systems, the U.S. aims to overcome procurement delays faced by allies (such as Japan and Taiwan) who rely on older missile designs. Ultimately, this initiative strengthens allied deterrence and bolsters long-range maritime strike capabilities necessary for potential conflict with China.
