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.
America and China Can Make AI Safer
English Summary
AI development presents transnational risks—such as engineered pathogens, autonomous cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, and deepfake disinformation—that transcend the geopolitical rivalry between the US and China. The article argues that neither nation benefits from an unchecked AI race, as the technology poses existential dangers regardless of where they originate. Therefore, managing these shared, catastrophic risks requires a shift from pure competition toward international cooperation and safety standards. Policymakers must prioritize global governance frameworks to mitigate the potential for misuse and ensure AI development is stable and secure.
中文摘要
人工智慧的發展帶來了跨國風險——例如人工合成病原體、針對關鍵基礎設施的自主網路攻擊，以及深度偽造的虛假資訊——這些風險超越了美國與中國之間的地緣政治競爭。本文論點指出，任何國家都不會從不受約束的AI競賽中受益，因為無論這些技術源自何處，它們都構成了存在性威脅。因此，管理這些共同的、災難性的風險，需要從純粹的競爭轉向國際合作與制定安全標準。政策制定者必須將優先順序放在建立全球治理框架上，以減輕潛在的濫用風險，並確保AI的發展是穩定且安全的。

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.
