🇺🇲🇺🇦🇷🇺 The United States plans to provide Ukraine with another package of military assistance by the end of the year, said John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the US National Security Council.
According to him, to provide further assistance, it is necessary for Congress to pass a bill to support Ukraine, which has not yet happened due to strong disagreements between Republicans and Democrats.

A major component of US strategy to counter the People’s Republic of China depends on its alliances with Japan & South Korea. However, both countries have far worse demographics than China. Japan has now been below replacement since 1974 & South Korea since 1983. The PRC only fell below replacement in 1992.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Lawmakers Call for Raising Tariffs and Severing Economic Ties With China
Bipartisan lawmakers on Tuesday called for severing more of America’s economic and financial ties with China, including revoking the low tariff rates that the United States granted Beijing after it joined the World Trade Organization more than two decades ago.
The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party released a wide-ranging set of recommendations for resetting America’s economic relationship with China. The report, which was signed by both House Democrats and Republicans, argued that China had carried out a “multidecade campaign of economic aggression” that had undercut American firms, dominated crucial global industries and left the United States highly vulnerable in the event of a broader military conflict.

🔶️ "Western analysts claim declining Chinese imports are a sign of weakness. Not so simple: S&P Global reports that China has substituted domestic inputs for foreign ones in high-tech industry, e.g. EV's. Also: China imports a lot more from ASEAN and LatAm, less from developed markets. China is consolidating an economic zone in Asia and elsewhere in the Global South."
