Japan Is Giving the United States a Chance in Asia
Japan, a country constitutionally bound to pacifism since World War II, is investing in its defense and contributing to regional security in ways that were previously unthinkable. Tokyo has nearly doubled its defense budget, purchased long-range missiles capable of striking military targets in China and North Korea, signed agreements that allow it to deploy its military overseas, stepped into combat roles in multilateral military exercises, and even lifted its prohibition on exporting weapons.

The Limits of Trump and Xi’s Photo-Op Summit
David Sacks is a fellow for Asia studies whose work focuses on U.S.-China relations, U.S.-Taiwan relations, Chinese foreign policy, and cross-Strait relations. It is by now a cliché to note that meetings between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are high on symbolism and low on substance. Xi’s visit to Washington this week, though, may have set a new high-water mark for symbolism and a new low for substance.

美国财长贝森特称美国将掌控全球80%算力，AI算力成国家战略核心
美国财政部长贝森特公开宣称，美国即将掌控全球80%的算力，将算力主导权定位为美国经济战略的核心支柱。这一表态来自政策最高层，为美国AI基础设施的持续投入提供了强有力的政策背书。 近日，贝森特在Mike Rowe节目中表示，美国目前已占据全球约50%至60%的算力份额，并预计这一比例将很快升至80%。（We probably used to have 50 or 60%of the compute power in the world.We'll probably soon be at 80%.）他将这场算力竞赛定性为美国"绝不能输"的战略博弈，并称若对手取得领先地位，其所获得的战略杠杆将是"不可接受的"。他同时表示，美国目前在AI领域领先竞争对手约一年。 这一表态迅速引发市场关注。分析人士指出，财政部长级别的政策表态，实际上为美国AI基础设施的长期资本支出提供了"国家级背书"，直接利好英伟达等芯片企业的需求前景，以及超大规模云计算厂商的资本开支周期。 贝森特的核心论点：算力即国力...
China Could Win Taiwan Without Fighting
The governments of the United States and China both assert that theirs is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. They also agree that the likeliest trigger for an armed conflict between them is Taiwan. In theory, then, it should come as a relief that U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping discussed Taiwan at length in Beijing last month and that the leaders emerged with a better understanding of each other’s positions.
Trump Shouldn’t Give China a Veto on Taiwan Arms Sales
Following President Donald Trump’s meetings with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing, Taiwan was absent from both the White House’s readout and its fact sheet. But any sense of relief proved short-lived.

At the Trump-Xi Summit, China Will Have the Upper Hand
U.S President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are slated to meet in Beijing on May 14–15, a summit that was delayed in March following the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. It marks the first state visit to China from a U.S. president since 2017, when Trump was first in office. Geopolitical tensions, particularly trade, Taiwan, the Iran war, and artificial intelligence (AI) loom over the upcoming meeting.
Sacks says as other AI firms catch up on cyber capabilities, 'it's time to demystify Mythos'
David Sacks, the influential co-chair of the White House Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, took aim at assertions that the federal government needs access to Anthropic's Mythos frontier AI model amid an ongoing legal battle with the Defense Department, saying rival developer OpenAI has already caught up with the Mythos cybersecurity capabilities and others will do so shortly.
Taiwan explained: Why China claims it, and why the U.S. is involved
May 4, 2026, 9:36 AM EDT By , and This article was originally published on CFR.organd updated by NBC News. Taiwan, officially known as the Republic of China (ROC), is an island separated from China by the Taiwan Strait. Mainland China, officially the People’s Republic of China (PRC), is under Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rule and asserts that Taiwan is an integral part of its territory, though it has never governed the island. Just a moment. We are getting your experience ready.
Taiwan’s infighting is playing into China’s hands
Taiwan has made impressive strides in enhancing its resilience to Chinese military and economic coercion. But an increasingly polarized political environment threatens to stall and even reverse such progress. This is the picture that emerged after a week of meetings in Taipei with current and former officials, scholars, and journalists. Since taking office nearly two years ago, Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has emphasized resilience as a key component of deterrence.
Taiwan’s Political Polarization Is Playing Into China’s Hands

Paint it black: An asymmetric approach to China’s gray zone coercion of Taiwan
The United States has a long-standing, vital strategic interest in preventing a rival power from dominating Asia. Deterring aggression in the Taiwan Strait is critical to that objective. If the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were to attack and successfully annex Taiwan, this would shatter the balance of power in the world’s most economically consequential region. U.S. allies—Japan, the Philippines, Australia, and South Korea—would lose faith in the credibility of American commitments.

Trump’s Venezuela strike will not spark a Taiwan attack
American President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Venezuela and capture president Nicolás Maduro ignited a flurry of commentary in the United States. It revolved around what this would mean for China’s Taiwan ambitions. Some worried that Beijing could invoke Trump’s unilateral actions as a precedent to snatch Taiwan’s president. Others argued that the US had lost the moral high ground to intervene on the island’s behalf.

PayPal黑帮成员David Sacks创业项目Glue获2000万美元融资，用AI Agent重构企业协作
你有没有想过，团队协作这件事可能要彻底变了？我们正在从使用各种独立的AI工具，转向将AI agent视为团队成员的全新协作方式。这不是什么小修小补，而是一场彻底的范式转变。想想看，那些我们习以为常的工作方式——在Slack频道里被无尽的消息淹没、不断切换各种工具、花大量时间寻找信息——这些都在因为AI agent驱动的协作平台而被重新定义。 David Sacks最近带着他的新产品Glue正式走向市场，并刚刚完成了2000万美元的A轮融资。这个名字你可能很熟悉，他是PayPal黑帮成员之一，也是Yammer的创始人，更是All-In播客的联合主持人。但让我更感兴趣的是，他为什么要在已经是超级成功的风险投资家和播客主持人的情况下，再次投身到产品创业的辛苦工作中？答案很简单：他看到了一个巨大的机会，一个用AI agent彻底改变团队协作方式的机会。当我深入了解Glue之后，我发现这不仅仅是又一个聊天工具，而是对整个企业协作软件市场的一次革命性挑战。 为什么我们需要重新思考团队协作...
特朗普签署行政令，旨在扫除各州立法对AI的阻碍-虎嗅网
美国总统特朗普签署行政命令，旨在推翻各州的人工智能法律，以建立统一的美国联邦标准。 周四美国总统特朗普签署行政命令，允许美国司法部成立法律工作组审查美国各州的AI法律，并可能对不符合要求的州扣留联邦资金。特朗普在白宫办公室强调，美国必须统一行动。 特朗普表示，从事人工智能工作的人员或公司在美国设立业务不应遇到障碍。他说：如果他们必须从50个不同的州获得50个不同的批准，那就算了，因为这是不可能做到的。 目前美国各州已提出超过1000项人工智能法案。此前美国硅谷高管们一直在游说特朗普禁止各州制定人工智能法律，他们认为这些法律可能导致美国在人工智能竞赛中落败。 不过该命令已引发美国共和党内部分歧，部分保守派人士认为此举削弱了各州监管AI和保护消费者的能力。民主党人则批评这一命令将扼杀各州的安全改革，为AI公司创造“无法无天的狂野西部环境”。 白宫AI事务负责人David Sacks周四表示，政府计划保留保护儿童安全的法律，但会针对某些被认为过于繁琐的州法规采取行动。 共和党内部出现分歧 该命令正在考验MAGA保守派的忠诚度，包括特朗普的前策略师Steve Bannon和参议员Josh...
How the Next Taiwan Crisis Will Be Different
Taiwan is the most dangerous flashpoint in the world. No other plausible source of great power war comes close to manifesting the same combination of risk factors as Taiwan. The likelihood of a clash between Chinese and Taiwanese forces—one that could draw in the United States and other powers—has sharply risen in recent years.
The Next Taiwan Crisis Won’t Be Like the Last
Paul B. Stares General John W. Vessey Senior Fellow for Conflict Prevention and Director of the Center for Preventive Action Executive Summary Current thinking about a conflict over Taiwan relies on outdated assumptions. A future conflict, far from being contained and easily definable, would almost certainly ensnare multiple regional actors, spill into other theaters, and could even be triggered by external events.

Xi flexes his muscles to turn back the clock on Trump
President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping agreed to pause tit-for-tat measures in the long-running US-China trade war during a 100-minute meeting this week. At a tactical level, it amounted to a ceasefire, allowing the world’s two largest economies to move forward. It also prepared the ground for Trump’s proposed visit to Beijing in April, where he can have a far more expansive set of conversations about economic ties and geopolitical issues.
Trump and Xi Turn Back the Clock-While China Flexes Its Muscles
During a hundred-minute meeting, President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping agreed to undo many of the tit-for-tat measures and countermeasures that they had introduced in recent months as they escalated the long-running U.S.-China trade war.
U.S. Trade Policy Sends Geopolitical Ripples Through Pacific Rim
Leaders of twenty-one Pacific Rim economies have gathered in Gyeongju, South Korea, for the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting. Expectations are low for substantial outcomes from the meeting itself, but all eyes are on the surrounding events and dynamics—most notably U.S. President Donald Trump’s first meeting of his second term with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Trump’s Trade Policy Feeds Taiwan’s Growing U.S. Skepticism
This piece is part of a Council on Foreign Relations analysis series assessing the geopolitical effect of the Trump administration’s tariffs policy on select countries in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation ahead of the trade bloc’s summit.

David Sacks Endorses Mike Selig as New CFTC Leader for Crypto
President Donald Trump is expected to appoint Michael Selig. The Chief Counsel of the SEC Crypto Task Force is the next Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This move is seen as another major step toward integrating digital assets into the U.S. financial system. The announcement drew swift reaction across the crypto and policy community. David Sacks, Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, praised the decision.
Taiwan Is Not for Sale
When U.S. President Donald Trump meets with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in the coming weeks and months—likely starting next week at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in South Korea—the immediate focus will be on how to de-escalate the latest round of export restrictions and tariff threats that the United States and China have wielded against each other.
Seeing The World Through the Eyes of King David
September 7, 2025 4 min read King David faced wars, lies, and betrayal—yet saw only God’s sweetness. Elul invites us to share his vision of light and trust. There’s a special prayer Jews say throughout the Hebrew month of Elul—the 27th Psalm: “L’David Hashem ori v’ishi—Hashem is my light and my salvation. I fear?” In fact, it’s recited through Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and all the way until the end of Sukkot. Why?
What the Failed Recall in Taiwan Means for U.S.-Taiwan and Cross-Strait Relations
On Saturday, July 26, all 24 legislators from Taiwan’s Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) who were up for recall survived the vote, heading off an unprecedented effort to replace legislators elected just last year. The failure of the “Great Recall” campaign will likely embolden the KMT to fiercely oppose President Lai Ching-te’s agenda. It also raises an important unknown in U.S.-Taiwan relations and may lower the temperature of cross-Strait relations.

FTR#1377 Team Trump Takes the Field, Part 3
Not since those sweltering days in Philadelphia in 1787 at the Constitutional Convention has the United States confronted so fundamental a restructuring of the federal government. What’s happening! Today, the mainstream press declares “it can’t happen here” because we are not an authoritarian society, which is a reference to Sinclair Lewis’ 1935 novel, about a dictatorial take over of the United States. No we are not heading into a coup d’etat, they say, nor are we heading into an oligarchy.

The Right U.S. Strategy for Russia-Ukraine Negotiations
Ukraine has considerable leverage in upcoming negotiations with Russia—as long as the United States stands by Kyiv and adopts a negotiating strategy that creates real dilemmas for Moscow. U.S. support for Ukraine has been cast into doubt in recent weeks after a flurry of comments by Trump administration officials offering unilateral concessions to Moscow and criticizing Ukraine. Bilateral talks between Russia and the United States in Riyadh have heightened concerns in Ukraine and Europe.
America Needs a Sovereign Wealth Fund
In January 2025, shortly after being inaugurated, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order calling for the creation of a U.S.-owned sovereign wealth fund. An SWF, Trump said, would “promote the long-term financial health and international leadership of the United States” through direct investment in “great national endeavors,” such as manufacturing and medical research.
A More Corrupt World Will Be Bad for America
Some years ago, while serving as the U.S. State Department’s first coordinator on global anticorruption, I visited a country in West Africa as part of my fieldwork. During my visit, an American businessman whose company was operating an important national enterprise told me about a government official who had solicited a bribe from him.
Why No One Is Winning in Ukraine
Very few people predicted that a long, high-intensity war in Europe was possible in the twenty-first century. But for three bloody years, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has delivered exactly that. Hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians have died in the fighting. Many more have been injured. Entire towns have been reduced to ruin or cut apart by trenches, in a grim callback to World War I. Now, the war in Ukraine has reached an apparent stasis.
Trump Is Making Taiwan More Vulnerable
President Donald Trump’s first month in office has been dizzying for U.S. allies, partners, and adversaries alike. At first glance, Taiwan might count itself lucky for largely flying under the radar as Trump focuses on the Western Hemisphere and Europe. On closer inspection, though, Trump has already taken actions that make the island more vulnerable.
