- Comment on Dutch government intervenes at Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia 21 hours ago:
China requires not only Chinese leadership, you can’t even found a subsidiary in China that you would own. You always need a Chinese partner company that would then control the majority stake of the Joint Venture (btw, the only non-Chinese company that is exempted from this rule is Tesla).

The Chinese government will certainly understand the Dutch move as they eliminate all Western technology firms such as Nokia and Ericsson from its domestic networks. So what’s the issue?

- Comment on Britain's Starmer denies trying to appease China, says spying case dropped on legal grounds 5 days ago:
Mark Elliott, Professor of Public Law at the University of Cambridge, provides a good analysis on Starmer’s comments.
The Prime Minister insists that the dropping of China-related espionage charges occurred for reasons entirely outwith the control of his government — but his argument that his hands were tied by the previous government’s position on China is, at best, highly contestable …
The reality is that it is open to the government today to say that it considers that China was a threat to national security in 2021–23 and to offer that view as evidence for the purpose of criminal proceedings …
The entire comment makes a good read: publiclawforeveryone.com/…/on-china-the-official-…

- Comment on UK: If it looks, sounds and behaves like an enemy, why are we calling China a ‘challenge’? -- [Opinion] 6 days ago:
If so, then go to the posts critical of the US here and comment that “everything they say about the US could also be said about China.”
- Comment on UK: If it looks, sounds and behaves like an enemy, why are we calling China a ‘challenge’? -- [Opinion] 6 days ago:
There are many reports criticizing the USA, Russia, and all others you have mentioned. In these reports, however, no one is whining and arguing that someone has been “singled out.”
This is a valid comment on China whose government is behaving as an enemy. There is no reason for whataboutism.

- Comment on UK: China’s fifth-ranking official was suspect in dropped Westminster spy case 1 week ago:
Labour secretly sabotaged China spy trial: Ministers’ decision not to describe Xi’s regime in court as an ‘enemy’ led the case to collapse
Prosecutors dropped charges last month against Christopher Cash, 30, and Christopher Berry, 33, who were accused of passing information about the Government’s foreign policy to a high-ranking member of the Chinese government.
At the time, Sir Keir Starmer’s spokesman said that it was “extremely disappointing” that the two men would not face trial [but] the case collapsed because ministers withdrew a star witness who had been tasked with testifying that China was an “enemy” of the UK.
Under the Official Secrets Act 1911, Mr Cash and Mr Berry were accused of collecting and passing information that would be “directly or indirectly useful to an enemy”.

A report citing Chinese state-controlled media:
Chinese professionals eye Europe as US visa uncertainty grows
According to the South China Morning Post, recent uncertainty over the U.S. H-1B visa program has led many Chinese professionals to consider leaving the United States for Europe. Confusion followed a U.S. government proposal to introduce a US$100,000 application fee for H-1B visas. Although later clarified to apply only to new visas, the announcement triggered panic among skilled workers and their families.
