"Subsea cable security is not a future risk. It is a present and accelerating danger. Subsea fiberoptic cable carries roughly 97 percent of global intercontinental data traffic." - Jason Hsu, Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute 📺Hearing on U.S.-China Competition Under the Sea

A snapped carrier cable is a rare but extremely dangerous event. It can cause the aircraft to either bolter (fail to catch a cable and become airborne again) or, worse, risk rolling overboard into the sea. For the deck crew, the primary hazard is the possibility of a deadly whipping cable snapping back violently.

$NVDA - NVIDIA CEO ON CHINA Nvidia CEO says China is a “bonus opportunity” for the future. Currently, the company is focused on strong global demand, which is skyrocketing. If China becomes a key market, it would benefit Nvidia, the U.S., and the world.

China made roughly 1,800 vessels in 2022. The U.S. made 5. This is a major national security and economic threat. That’s why under President Donald J. Trump's leadership, U.S. Department of Transportation is already fighting to revitalize our shipyards. #AmericaIsBuildingAgain

In a recent report, the Belfer Center said China has an opportunity to overtake the U.S. in biotechnology and that "future developments could quickly shift the global balance of power." @Jrkelly joined me at the Hudson Institute to break down this threat and why it concerns him.

‼️Finland's authorities seized control of a vessel suspected of damaging a data cable between Helsinki and Tallinn - Yle. The data cable was damaged today, and the anchor chain of the vessel was hanging in the water. The vessel, Fitburg, was going from St Petersburg, Russia to Haifa, Israel. It is flagged in St Vincent and the Grenadines. Fitburg is not on any official sanctions lists but has been highlighted as a vessel of interest by a sanctions monitoring platform. Fitburg was intercepted in Finland's exclusive economic zone, and the cable damage took place in Estonia's economic zone. 14 crew members were detained.

Fun fact: The first transatlantic internet cable is being pulled off the ocean floor right now. Almost no one knows it's happening. TAT-8 went live in 1988. First fiber-optic cable to connect Europe and the US. Isaac Asimov called it a "maiden voyage across the sea on a beam of light." The engineers behind it genuinely believed it might be the last transatlantic cable the world would ever need. The tech was so far ahead of copper they thought global bandwidth was solved. But it filled to capacity within 18 months. That forced the industry to immediately start laying more cables, a race between demand and infrastructure that still hasn't stopped. After developing a fault too expensive to fix, the cable was retired in 2002. It's been sitting on the seabed ever since. Now a small crew aboard this ship is dragging it back up. Meanwhile, Meta announced Project Waterworth last year, a 50,000 kilometer cable stretching across 5 continents, partly to feed the data demands of AI. ...The entire global internet runs on cables like this, built and maintained by a few thousand people working in places most of us will never see.

This is one of my favorite Cisco commands that has saved me so much time. You can remotely test an ethernet cable to see if there is a physical issue with it or not. Saving myself having to go on-site and check the cable manually.

🌏🇨🇳 69 𝕏 MINUTES | CHINA’S TOP STRATEGIST: “WE CONTROL THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN” Professor Wang Wen rejects the idea that Beijing is escalating tensions, saying China’s dominance over rare earths is a defensive measure, not aggression, after years of U.S. provocation. “It’s not China that proactively provokes the U.S., but rather the U.S. lacking sincerity in negotiations. Rare earths are an important countermeasure, but China still has many others if provoked. Over twenty years of development have given China absolute control of the global supply chain. We control 70 percent of global rare earth mining, 90 percent of processing, and 93 percent of magnet manufacturing. It’s like controlling not only the oil fields, but also every refinery and chemical plant in the world.”

2025.10.21 America’s next health crisis may not stem from a new virus, but from the CCP’s tightening control over the U.S. medical supply chain. With 41% of key drug ingredients and nearly half of protective gear sourced from communist China, experts warn of a growing national security risk. Data flaws in China-made medical devices and supply chain vulnerabilities underscore a stark truth: medical security is national security, and America must act before it’s too late.

Washington is Furious as China Moves Into Latin America ▶️ Watch the full video: 🔹China signals a strategic shift, not a routine update: Beijing’s new policy paper on Latin America and the Caribbean—its first major revision since 2016—frames the region as central to a changing global order, reflecting a more fragmented world and an open U.S.–China rivalry that challenges long-standing U.S. dominance under the Monroe Doctrine. 🔹Latin America positioned as part of the “Global South”: China explicitly casts the region as a political and strategic force in building a multipolar world, emphasizing a “community with a shared future,” opposition to hegemony, and the idea that the old, U.S.-led system is fading. 🔹Political alignment over ideology: Beijing stresses support for the One China principle, especially on Taiwan, while offering mutual backing on sovereignty. It seeks broad engagement not just with governments, but with legislatures, institutions, and political parties across the ideological spectrum, prioritizing long-term influence over ideological conformity. 🔹Economic sovereignty and de-dollarization: Beyond infrastructure and the Belt and Road Initiative, China is pushing reduced reliance on the U.S. dollar through local-currency trade, currency swaps, deeper central bank cooperation, and expanded Chinese financial institutions—laying groundwork for a parallel financial ecosystem. 🔹Expanding security and strategic ties: The roadmap includes deeper defense and security cooperation—military exchanges, training, disaster relief, counter-terrorism, and peacekeeping—framed under China’s Global Security Initiative as an alternative to U.S.-led security frameworks, signaling China’s ambition to be both an economic and security partner in the region.

China has issued a warning over Washington’s abuse of “national security” to persecute Chinese businesses: China firmly opposes the U.S. overstretching the concept of national security and creating discriminatory lists to target Chinese companies. China will do what is necessary to firmly protect their legitimate and lawful rights and interests. The U.S. calling Chinese companies “military-linked” is almost funny. America’s own economy is built on military-civil fusion. Boeing sells civilian aircraft and builds weapons. Microsoft sells cloud services and takes Pentagon contracts. Intel and AMD power consumer devices and defense systems. SpaceX launches satellites and builds military networks. Palantir literally exists to serve intelligence and warfare. But when Alibaba, Baidu, BYD, or Tencent develop advanced technology, suddenly Washington discovers “national security.” Please. Every time the U.S. abuses “national security,” it is not because America is under threat. It is because America is losing market competition. An empire that once sold itself as open, innovative, confident, and fearless has declined into a paranoid gatekeeper, slamming the door on every competitor it can no longer defeat. But if Washington can weaponize “national security” to blacklist Chinese firms, then China can study the homework too. After all, “national security” is not a U.S. patent.
