Personal news: I've joined @GovAIOrg as a summer research fellow.

Timely CNN piece on Taiwan's former nuke program. "Some have argued that if Taiwan had successfully acquired nuclear weapons it could have served as an ultimate deterrent – paralleling Ukraine, where Russia might not have invaded if Kyiv." By Eric Cheung: edition.cnn.com/2025/03/01/a…

Chang Hsien-yi, who helped the US shut down Taiwan's nuke program:
“I didn’t want to have any conflict in any way with mainland China. Using any kind of deadly chemical or nuclear weapons… it’s nonsense to me. I believe we are all Chinese and that doesn’t make sense.”

Miao Hua being purged is a much bigger deal than Dong Jun
Miao is on Xi’s Central Military Commission, unlike Dong
Miao also worked in Fujian when Xi was a local leader there, suggesting that Xi is concerned enough about PLA corruption to take down people he may know well

President Trump’s Cabinet is packed with China hawks—but Elon Musk, with his deep ties to Beijing, is the wildcard. Will he soften Trump’s hardline stance or spark a clash of egos with Marco Rubio? The stakes for U.S.-China relations couldn’t be higher. @jimsciutto @EricCheungwc
