Sounds like we should be keeping that 100% tariff on Chinese EVs…On the subject of Chinese cars or any cars with Chinese components - the Brits are wary too.

Helpful advice from a former spook....
The recent alert from MI5 to MPs and staff working at the Palace of Westminster has raised awareness of the threat from Chinese espionage. There's nothing new about it – I should know as I was targeted in 2017. These are a few basic steps anyone should take to be on their guard if they are approached out of the blue.
Look at who's approached you and ask yourself why have I been approached? If it's a pretty young girl in broken English and her profile doesn't match what they're asking, then you should be suspicious.
When I was approached in 2017 it was a man who messaged me on LinkedIn. I was invited to China for an all–expenses paid trip and a $2,000 fee. It was to produce a report for a counter–terrorism conference, shortly after the London Bridge attack. It was at an international conference in Shanghai.
This was something I do all the time anyway, so it could have been perfectly legitimate.
The first thing that made me suspicious was the Chinese element.
Any Chinese citizen or organisation, under Article 7 of the Chinese constitution, is required to co–operate with Chinese national intelligence when asked to do so – they have no option.
The same applies to TikTok and to every aspect of society.
When I asked about the fee, that was to be paid in cash when I got to China, which sounded even more alarm bells.

Meanwhile, the new Japanese PM is rolling up her sleeves...
How the Japan PM's Taiwan remarks provoked the fury of China
Over the past few days, China and Japan have been locked in an escalating war of words.
It all started when Japan's new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, suggested that if China attacked Taiwan then Japan could respond with its own self-defence force.
Since then, foreign ministries on both sides have lodged serious protests with the other, with Beijing summoning the Japanese ambassador. A Chinese diplomat also made what some interpreted as a threat to behead Takaichi.
The spat touches on the historical animosity between China and Japan, as well as longstanding "strategic ambiguity" on the sovereignty of Taiwan.

Japan now intends on putting a surface to air missile battery on one of their islands, a mere 110km east of Taiwan. And overall it seems both appear to be open to deepening ties with each other.

I did not realize that the Japanese islands extended that close to Taiwan, that certainly helps Taiwan and the allies resupply the island and become major problems for China.
