As China's military capabilities expand, US-China frictions intensify, and regional tensions increase, concern is on the rise that a potential crisis, either accidental or deliberate, could take place that could spiral out of control. If a crisis arises with China, leaders may want to de-escalate and prevent a wider conflict. To do so, they will need to understand how China thinks about crisis management and escalation.The guest for this episode has dug into the writings of PLA strategists and authoritative PRC sources as well as Western scholarship to assess how China views military escalation and how the US and other countries can accurately predict and interpret PRC signal in crisis scenarios.Lyle Morris is a Senior Fellow on Foreign Policy and National Security at the Center for China Analysis at the Asia Society Policy Institute. His recently published paper is titled “China's Views on Escalation and Crisis Management and Implications for the United States.” Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:37] Methodology and Authoritative Chinese Sources[04:17] PLA Theories and Concepts of Managing Escalation[06:00] Controlling All Facets of Military Escalation[10:28] Doctrine of Seizing the Initiative[15:21] First Use of Force and a Reluctance to Use Force[19:37] American and Chinese Considerations of Misperception[25:46] Utility of US-China Tabletop Exercises[28:33] Predicting a Taiwan Contingency

Danes zaznamujemo svetovni dan zavedanja o avtizmu. V Sloveniji je po oceni Zveze NVO za avtizem Slovenije približno 20.000 do 30.000 ljudi s spektrom avtizma, to pomeni 1,5 odstotka. Med njimi je vse več odraslih z avtizmom. Vedenje o avtizmu je danes zagotovo višje, kot je bilo to pred desetimi in več leti, razlaga Patricija Lovišček, ki pravi, da se ljudje z avtizmom še vedno soočajo s težavami in izzivi predvsem na področju izobraževanja in zaposlovanja. Kako podpreti ljudi z avtizmom in kakšne potenciale imajo, pa v pogovoru Petre Medved s Patricijo Lovišček, direktorico zasebnega Zavoda Modri december, zavoda za spodbujanje zavedanja avtizma in Aspergerjevega sindroma Koper. Zavod je tudi eden izmed članov Zveze NVO za avtizem Slovenije. V Poslanici Društva ASPI in Zveze NVO za avtizem Slovenije so ob današnjem svetovnem dnevu zavedanja o avtizmu zapisali, da je čas za prvi dnevni center za odrasle in mladostnike z avtizmom, za katerega si želijo, da bi bil v Ljubljani. Pripravili so tudi idejni načrt za njegovo ustanovitev, svoje sanje in vizijo centra pa bodo mladostniki in odrasli ter njihovi podporniki javnosti predstavili v torek, 8. aprila ob 18. uri v Slovenski kinoteki.

Ray and Jim welcome Justin Bassi, former Australian National Security Advisor and current Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). Justin explains what the “Quad” grouping between the U.S., Australia, Japan and India means for Indo-Pacific security, stability and prosperity–on issues from supply chain resiliency, cyber security and maritime security.Justin makes the case that given the threat from China, the Quad needs to mature so as to overtly include security as a key component of its remit, despite India's status as a non-aligned nation. He also believes that developing a range of other minilateral groupings like the so-called “Squad” (U.S.-Japan-Australia-Philippines) are crucial.Our guest addresses the tension between the Quad and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which desires “centrality” in Indo-Pacific affairs, and explains why the Quad can provide important alternatives to countering China's growing influence across the region.Justin turns to the U.S.-Australia alliance, and how Canberra's approach to China has garnered respect in Washington. He delves into how the countries need to work together on issues such as defense and cyber security.Follow Justin at the ASPI web site or on X.Our podcast is produced by IEJ Media, sharing news that matters on statecraft & instruments of national power.Sponsored by BowerGroupAsia, a strategic advisory firm that specializes in the Indo-Pacific.

‘An absolute moron' – those were the words used by Chris LaCivita, a senior campaign advisor to Trump, to describe Peter Mandelson. Lord Mandelson is Keir Starmer's choice for the next ambassador to the US, but Trump may yet refuse his letters of credentials. How wise is this appointment at the dawn of an uncertain era of US-UK relations? Cindy Yu talks to James Heale and Sophia Gaston, UK foreign policy lead at the security think tank ASPI.

4. The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) is going nowhere by Australian Citizens Party

China is deeply unpopular in the U.S., UK, Japan, and most other wealthy countries, and given the politics in those regions, there's no indication that's going to change anytime soon. It's a very different story, though, in large parts of developing Asia, Africa, the Americas and the Middle East where public opinion surveys reveal generally favorable views of the Chinese. A new "poll of polls" by the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) on global public opinion about China reveals a lot more nuance about how people in the Global South feel about their countries' ties with China than what is framed in the mainstream media narratives. Andrew Chubb, a senior fellow at ASPI, led the project and joins Eric & Cobus to discuss what the data tells us about the diversity of views on China across the Global South.

A panel of foreign policy experts joins host Alain Tolhurst to look at global affairs, the dangers the UK faces around the world, how the public feels about them, and what Keir Starmer's government can do to tackle the big security issues. Sophia Gaston, who works at the ASPI think tank, Tobias Ellwood, former defence committee chair, and Chris Hopkins, political research director at pollsters Savanta, discuss whether it's Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Gaza or China and Taiwan, if foreign policy will end up distracting Labour from their core domestic agenda fixing the country's public services and growing the economy. Later in the episode former Conservative defence secretary Grant Shapps, and the new chair of the foreign affairs committee, Emily Thornberry, both speak to Alain about those threats, and how the government can help the public feel safer in our increasingly dangerous world.

He dumpster dives into hated market corners, abandoned equities, and downright ugly situations. This week Chris pitches three off-the-beaten path ideas: LLAP, FATBP, and ASPI. I guarantee you'll learn something new because there's at least one company you haven't heard of here. Finally, a big thanks to our sponsors for making this episode happen.

Aspirin is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. To find out what brand owner Bayer Consumer Health is doing to celebrate this occasion, and what it is doing to take the brand into the next 125 years, HBW Insight chats with the company's senior vice president, Global Head Allergy, Cough/Cold, Pain and Heart Health, Reese Fitzpatrick, and head of R&D, North America and Therapeutics, Rachel Koontz. Already used for a variety conditions by consumers and patients across the world, the Aspirin brand has much more to offer, they argue, for example, in terms of digital self-care, with the firm working with British medtech firm Huma Therapeutics on a Heart Health Risk Assessment app that it currently markets in the US and Middle East. Aspirin also still has Rx-to-OTC switch potential, they reveal, for example in markets like Mexico where the brand is not already available without a prescription. And if that's not enough, we also discuss Bayer's extension of the Aspi brand into the naturals space, particularly in the cough and cold category in Europe.

My guest on the show today is Chris Abbott, CIO of 1035 Capital Management. As it states on the 1035 Capital Management website, "our passion is to uncover these opportunities [companies undergoing fundamental business improvements that should drive future stock returns] before the ramifications of a positive catalyst become evident to the majority of investors, a concept we call “front running the black box.” This quote encapsulates everything we talk about today: the idea of eclectic value, intelligent diversification, MicroCap turnarounds, and we dive into a few stocks that exemplify some of these themes, as well as Chris' 'Small Cap Core' investment strategy.

In this podcast episode, I welcome Dr. Jacob Wilson, the Founder and CEO of Applied Science and Performance Institute (ASPI), and we discussed a clinical trial conducted on the FASTer Way program.  The study aimed to determine if the program could help participants lose fat without losing muscle. And guess what?  The results were incredibly promising! The program proved to be effective in preserving muscle mass while burning fat and what's even more fascinating is that he discovered how our lifestyle choices can actually influence our biological age.
