January 19, 2023U.S.-China RelationsUS-China Trade is Close to a Record, Defying Talk of Decoupling<\/strong>
Trade between the US and China is on track to break<\/a> records, a signal of resilient links between the world\u2019s top economies amid the heated national security rhetoric in Washington and fears of \u201cdecoupling.\u201d US government data through November suggest that imports and exports in 2022 will add up to an all-time high, or at least come very close, when the final report comes out Feb. 7. Beijing just published its own full-year figures<\/a> that show record trade of around $760 billion. Trade between the US and China is on track to break records, a signal of resilient links between the world\u2019s top economies amid the heated national security rhetoric in Washington and fears of \u201cdecoupling.\u201d US government data through November suggest that imports and exports in 2022 will add up to an all-time high, or at least come very close, when the final report comes out Feb. 7.

In late 2022, Germany\u2019s domestic intelligence chief, Thomas Haldenwang, put it well: \u201cRussia is the storm,\u201d he told German parliamentarians. \u201cChina is climate change.\u201d Last year was also the first time the US administration acted<\/a> as if it truly believed that distinction. Though most of president Joe Biden\u2019s attention was directed at Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in February, his most consequential steps in 2022 targeted China. The uncertainty is no longer about whether US-China decoupling will happen but how far it will go. Much of the answer will become clear in 2023. Financial Times<\/em>Blinken to Test Limits of China\u2019s Diplomatic Engagement on Feb 5-6 Beijing Trip<\/strong>
Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet in Beijing with his counterpart, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, on Feb. 5-6, Washington-based diplomats familiar with Blinken\u2019s travel plans told POLITICO. Blinken\u2019s much-anticipated China trip is a follow-up to President Joe Biden\u2019s meeting with China\u2019s paramount leader, Xi Jinping, in Indonesia in November at which Biden pledged <\/a>to \u201cmaintain open lines of communication\u201d with Beijing at a time of worsening bilateral tensions. The visit is a test of whether the Biden-Xi meeting has paved the way for more productive U.S.-China ties at a time when the relationship has become increasingly rancorous over issues ranging from Taiwan and trade policy to U.S. concerns about Beijing\u2019s human rights record. Politico<\/em>Industrial Espionage: How China Sneaks out America\u2019s Technology Secrets<\/strong>
According to a Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment, the US citizen hid confidential files stolen<\/a> from his employers in the binary code of a digital photograph of a sunset, which Mr Zheng then mailed to himself. It was a technique called steganography, a means of hiding a data file within the code of another data file. Mr Zheng utilised it on multiple occasions to take sensitive files from GE. GE is a multinational conglomerate known for its work in the healthcare, energy and aerospace sectors, making everything from refrigerators to aircraft engines. The information Zheng stole was related to the design and manufacture of gas and steam turbines, including turbine blades and turbine seals. Considered to be worth millions, it was sent to his accomplice in China. BBC<\/em>Russia-China RelationsSouth Africa Confirms Naval Drills with Russia and China<\/strong>     
South Africa on Thursday confirmed<\/a> plans to conduct joint military exercises with the Russian and Chinese navies off its east coast next month. The South African National Defense Force said the war games were meant to “strengthen the already flourishing relations between South Africa, Russia and China.” It said the exercises would take place in the port cities of Durban and Richards Bay and involve 350 South African soldiers. The drills are being called “Operation Mosi,” which means smoke in Tswana \u2014 one of 11 official languages in South Africa. The exercises are set to run from February 17 to 26, a year after Russia invaded Ukraine. DW<\/em>CCP Foreign InfluenceNavy Intel Chief: China Building for War \u2018in Every Area\u2019<\/strong>
China\u2019s military is engaged<\/a> in an alarming buildup of forces in \u201cevery warfare area,\u201d the chief of Navy intelligence said in recent remarks. \u201cThe military modernization in China in general, not just in the maritime area, is one of the fastest we\u2019ve seen in human history, [and] it goes well beyond what China needs for its defense,\u201d Rear Adm. Michael Studeman told the Intelligence and National Security Alliance, a private group on Jan. 11. \u201cSo, what you\u2019ve seen is a buildup in every warfare area.\u201d Chinese military capabilities now include advanced missiles and other long-range weapons, electronic warfare arms, innovative weapons technology and a blue-water navy armed with large warships and smaller vessels capable of \u201ccoercion around Taiwan,\u201d he said. The Washington Times<\/em>Beijing\u2019s BRI Influence over the UN Human Rights Council<\/strong>
As a United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) member state, China has a responsibility to promote and protect human rights globally. Yet through its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Beijing has used economic coercion, inducement, harassment and manipulation to undermine <\/a>the international human rights framework. This poses a serious threat to the effectiveness of the HRC. Beijing prioritises \u2018people-centred development\u2019 over universally recognised human rights. But China\u2019s high-modernist development at home involves human rights violations that have disempowering impacts on marginalised peoples. This is evident in the Tibet Autonomous Region and in the unfolding genocide in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). East Asia Forum<\/em>After Zero-COVID ends, Chinese activists Abroad dig in for Long Haul<\/strong>
The newfound political fervor that sent protesters to the streets in China over Beijing’s zero-COVID policy is helping Chinese activists worldwide grow<\/a> their bases and forge stronger ties with other pro-democracy protesters, organizers based abroad told Axios. Axios<\/em>Chinese Students made to sign \u2018Loyalty Pledges\u2019 to CCP before going to Sweden<\/strong>
Several Swedish universities reportedly discovered<\/a> that over two dozen doctoral students from China were made to sign an agreement pledging their loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) before arriving in Sweden. Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter published a report last week detailing the documents it obtained. The news outlet stated that over 30 students had signed letters before traveling to Sweden through the Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC) run by China\u2019s Ministry of Education, which supports international academic exchange with other universities globally. Yahoo News<\/em>COVID-19Why China Dumped its \u2018Zero Covid\u2019 Policy so suddenly \u2013 and disastrously<\/strong>
Up until the last minute before China relaxed<\/a> three years of severe covid restrictions, officials and state media were hailing the country\u2019s \u201cunswerving\u201d commitment to a strict containment strategy and the \u201csignificant advantages of our socialist system.\u201d That same system then witnessed a chaotic reopening, with the abrupt abandonment of lockdowns, mass testing, quarantines and contact tracing. Sick patients have since overwhelmed hospitals, and funeral homes and crematoriums have been mobbed, while relatives outside China scrambled to send basic medications that were suddenly nowhere to be found. The Washington Post<\/em>China Announces Lunar New Year Censors Crackdown to Silence Covid \u2018rumours\u2019<\/strong>
Chinese cyber authorities have announced<\/a> an internet censorship crackdown to ensure there are no \u201cgloomy sentiments\u201d caused by pandemic \u201crumours\u201d during the lunar new year festival. It comes as health forecasting firm Airfinity estimated more than 600,000 people have likely died since zero-Covid restrictions were lifted in December \u2013 10 times more than Chinese authorities have officially declared. The month-long \u201cSpring Festival online improvement\u201d program will target those spreading what authorities deem to be \u201crumours\u201d about the spread of Covid and patient experiences. The national cyber administration specified \u201cin-depth rectification of false information and other issues to prevent gloomy sentiments\u201d. The Guardian<\/em>Davos 2023: Moderna CEO in talks with China to Supply COVID Vaccines<\/strong>
Moderna chief executive Stephane Bancel said on Wednesday the U.S. company was in active discussions to supply COVID-19 vaccines to China. Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, he said the talks with Beijing also covered<\/a> the topic of factories, and other products including cancer treatments. “What I really want to understand is how do we help the Chinese government as to what are the needs they have from a healthcare standpoint,” he said. Reuters<\/em>Hong KongThe British Government is Abandoning Jimmy Lai, a British Citizen, to Beijing\u2019s Prisons<\/strong>
The tragic execution of Alireza Akbari in Iran raises serious questions about what more our government should do to help British nationals in trouble with repressive regimes. Right now in Hong Kong, another British national, Jimmy Lai, faces the possibility of spending<\/a> the remaining years of his life behind bars. The 75 year-old entrepreneur, publisher and pro-democracy campaigner has already been in jail for over three years, on multiple fabricated charges. On Human Rights Day, 10 December, last year, Mr Lai was sentenced to almost six years on trumped-up fraud charges. The Telegraph<\/em>Hong Kong Police Arrest Six for Selling \u2018Seditious\u2019 Book at Lunar New Year Fair<\/strong>
Police in Hong Kong have raided<\/a> a lunar new year shopping fair and arrested six people for selling a \u201cseditious\u201d book related to the 2019 anti-government protests in a move critics say has spread \u201cterror\u201d just days before the celebrations. National security officers accused three men and three women, aged between 18 and 62, of producing and publishing \u201ca seditious book about a series of riots that occurred in Hong Kong from June 2019 to February 2020\u201d, and selling it in a lunar new year stall in a shopping centre in Mong Kok, a bustling shopping district. Police said they were \u201cmembers of an anti-government organisation\u201d and held them in custody on suspicion of engaging in \u201cacts with seditious intention\u201d. Alan Keung, the founder of the independent news outlet Free HK Media, was among those arrested, local media reported. The Guardian<\/em>TaiwanTaiwan Foreign Ministry to Continue Keeping Tabs on US-China Exchanges<\/strong>
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) is keeping<\/a> tabs on high-level exchanges between the U.S. and China, MOFA deputy spokesperson Hsiao Kuang-wei (\u856d\u5149\u5049) said on Wednesday (Jan. 18). Hsiao made the remark following news that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit Beijing in early February to hold talks with Chinese officials. He will be the second U.S. Secretary of State to visit China after then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went in October 2018.Hsiao said currently, mutual trust between Taiwan and the U.S. is good and communication channels are open, per CNA. MOFA will continue to maintain close contact with Washington, he added. Taiwan News<\/em>Taiwan to Allow Women into Military Reserve Force Training as China Fears Grow<\/strong>
Taiwan\u2019s military on Tuesday rolled out plans to allow<\/a> women to volunteer for reserve force training for the first time, as China continues to ramp up military pressure on the democratic self-ruled island. The Taiwanese Defense Ministry said it will allow 220 discharged female soldiers to enroll in the training starting from the second quarter of this year. Maj. Gen. Yu Wen-cheng, from the ministry\u2019s All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency, said the move would be on a trial basis for this year. CNN<\/em>XinjiangCCP Monitored Tours to Xinjiang won\u2019t help China. Turkey Talking, More Muslim Nations can Join<\/strong>
As the reports of concentration camps and atrocities of the CCP on Uyghur Muslims appeared<\/a> in western media, democracies became anxious about the fate of Uyghurs under Xi\u2019s rule. They disapproved of CCP\u2019s policy of cultural aggression. Some western democracies even imposed sanctions on some CCP officials and banned cotton imports from Xinjiang\u2014made by forced labour. A United Nations Human Rights Commission report termed China\u2019s actions as a genocide. On the other hand, China used its economic and political clout over the Islamic world to help Beijing consolidate its voice on the Uyghur issue on global fora, such as the United Nations (UN). A recent example was on 6 October 2022, when most Muslim countries voted against the UN resolution to discuss human rights in Xinjiang in 2023. The Print<\/em>The China Debrief is a resource of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
