You’ve heard of China’s so-called economic miracle. But here’s the miracle Beijing doesn’t want you to notice — because it happened right across the street. Taiwan quietly became the real economic miracle.
Surprised to see almost no recent coverage about Jeffrey Epstein's ties to China. Kudos to the Harvard Crimson for reporting on Epstein's work to try to bring a branch of Tsinghua University, Xi Jinping's alma matter, to Boston. pic.twitter.com/pDqrjhzttY

The Chinese may be doing the Japanese a favor because no military should be using any Chinese components that could have backdoors built into them to impact military operations:
China on Tuesday banned exports of dual-use goods that can serve military purposes to Japan, a move that comes at time of heightened tensions between the two countries over Taiwan, a self-ruled island Beijing claims as its sovereign territory. The Chinese commerce ministry said in a statement that exports of such items, which can serve both civilian and military purposes, to Japanese military users and all other end-users that could help enhance Japanese military power are prohibited.
Any individual or organization that violates the rule by transferring or providing these made-in-China products to Japanese groups and people would face legal consequences, regardless of where they are from, it said. The notice did not identify or describe specific items, but some exports — particularly in the technology sector such as drones and navigation systems — could be adapted for military use.
