this is the way - 'multi-polarity' is another word for 'diversity' which is another way to understand resiliency. We have seen in recent days what over dependence on single point of failure looks like (AWS outage), so fr

"the media" indeed has a credibility crisis but I suspect the rise of alternative narratives about the world (social media) is the main factor behind rise of a sense of generalised distrust, which I'm sure we're all feel

Very interesting to see US Gov start taking equity stakes into strategically important companies. At some point, we will have to describe these are 'State Own Enterprises or SOE's, not uncommon in other countries. The question is

Can't see any movement on rare earth unless a commensurate roll back of 50% rule, which placed something like an additional 10,000 Chinese companies on the entity list. It's a quite simple equation for Beijing - if US wants decoup
