The Decoupling Dilemma: U.S.-China Economic Separation and Its Global Implications
It’s not a total cutting of ties; both sides acknowledge that a complete divorce is impractical, but it is a shift away from the deep integration that characterized the U.S.-China relationship in the 2000s.
Warfare in the Cloud: How AI and Advanced Computing Are Remaking Military Power
Both the U.S. and China see these as force multipliers that can dramatically enhance military effectiveness.
Battling for the Elements: Rare Earths and Critical Minerals in U.S.-China Competition
Rare earth elements (REEs) like neodymium, dysprosium, and praseodymium, for example, are essential for powerful permanent magnets used in wind turbines, electric vehicle motors, and precision-guided munitions.
Quantum Horizons: The Next Frontier of U.S.-China Technological Competition
This isn’t just theoretical hype: in specific experiments, rudimentary quantum processors have already achieved “quantum supremacy” by solving designed problems far faster than a classical supercomputer could.
A Resilient Surge: U.S. GDP Jumps 4.3% in Q3, Driven by National Security, Tech, and Consumer Strength
This robust uptick (accelerating from 3.8% in Q2) highlights an economy firing on multiple cylinders despite headwinds. Analysts are struck by how broad-based the growth has been,
Chips and Geopolitics: Why Semiconductors Are at the Heart of the U.S.-China Tech Rivalry
In response to these vulnerabilities, the United States has launched an ambitious push to “reshore” semiconductor manufacturing; essentially, to bring chip fabs back onto U.S. soil.
