The new export controls on rare earths are China's strongest leverage point ahead of the late Oct. Trump-Xi talks The new rules apply to any <14nm logic chips, with applications related to advanced semiconductors approved on a case-by-case basis Great breakdown from @gdp1985

Quite the day for Chinese export controls... Big things are happening.

1/ For anyone thinking about America's AI Exports Program: the Kenya 1GW Microsoft/G42 data center is the biggest test case. So far, it's a flop. The first phase of the project is due to be operational by May 2026--but construction hasn't even begun. Lessons in thread below👇

The Ministry of State Security helped Beijing evolve from noisy hacking to the most persistent cyber adversary facing U.S. networks. Does the U.S. cybersecurity posture measure up against the threat? I argue no — and outline how to impose higher costs on PRC cyber ops.⬇️

Last year, I wrote about China’s weaponization of antitrust law in trade disputes We’ve seen it with Intel, Qualcomm—and Nvidia Today, a preliminary ruling found Nvidia in violation, opening the door to fines up to $2.8 billion, remediation orders, or divestment requests

1/ The Trump admin has rightly cast US quantum leadership as a nat'l imperative. But w/ tight budgets, Washington needs a strategic bet with outsized returns. In a new @just_security op-ed, I argue quantum sensing—today's most mature quantum tech—offers just such an opportunity.

1/ This weekend's GPS interference on von der Leyen's flight underscores the fragility of our everyday navigation systems—and the tremendous value quantum sensors can provide as a high-precision, resilient alternative.
