Sverige spelade en mer aktiv diplomatisk roll i Japan och Kina än i Europa under andra världskriget. Eftersom Sverige aldrig hotades militärt av Japan kunde landet föra en självständig utrikespolitik gentemot Tokyo och upprätthöll aktiva diplomatiska relationer i regionen.Medan bomberna föll över Nanjing i Kina och striderna rasade i Stilla havet, växte Sveriges legation i Tokyo till ett av landets mest betydelsefulla diplomatiska uppdrag. Sveriges främsta intressen i Östasien under 1930-talet var ekonomiska och diplomatiska. Export, import och handelsförbindelser – med produkter som järnmalm, trävaror, industrivaror ‒ var viktiga motiv. Och Sverige fortsatte att upprätthålla goda diplomatiska förbindelser med Japan under hela kriget.Detta är det första av två avsnitt om Sverige och Östasien under andra världskriget i podden Historia Nu, där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med historikern Ingemar Ottosson, aktuell med boken Sverige och andra världskriget i Östasien.Trots att kriget mellan Japan och Kina hade pågått i flera år när andra världskriget bröt ut i Europa 1939, har det länge stått i skuggan av de europeiska och nordafrikanska krigsskådeplatserna. Detta trots att vissa forskare hävdar att andra världskriget i praktiken började redan 1931, med den så kallade Manchuriska krisen. Då iscensatte japanska officerare den så kallade Mukdenincidenten genom att spränga en del av järnvägen i Manchuriet och skylla på kinesiska trupper. Händelsen blev förevändningen för en snabb japansk ockupation av hela regionen, där man 1932 upprättade marionettstaten Manchukuo med den avsatte kejsaren Puyi som formell ledare.När Nationernas Förbund, med stöd från bland annat Sverige, fördömde Japans agerande, svarade Japan med att lämna organisationen. Detta blottlade det internationella samfundets oförmåga att stoppa aggressionspolitik och markerade början på ett skifte i världspolitiken där stormakter agerade alltmer ensidigt.Sex år senare, i juli 1937, utbröt strider vid Marco Polo-bron nära Peking efter en dispyt kring en försvunnen japansk soldat. Den inledande skottväxlingen mellan japanska och kinesiska trupper eskalerade snabbt och blev upptakten till det andra kinesisk-japanska kriget – en konflikt som skulle komma att bli en av 1900-talets mest förödande. Manchuriet blev därmed upptakten till Japans territoriella expansion, medan striderna vid Marco Polo-bron markerade övergången till ett öppet storkrig i Asien.Sveriges neutrala status under kriget gav dess diplomater ett unikt handlingsutrymme i Östasien. Legationen i Tokyo tjänade inte bara som förbindelsepunkt mellan Sverige och Japan, utan också som ett diplomatiskt nav för andra länder som saknade representation i området. Svenska diplomater vidarebefordrade exempelvis post och förhandlade om fångutväxlingar mellan stridande länder, vilket gav Sverige ett viktigt, om än diskret, inflytande i regionen.Bildtext: Japanska soldater ur 29:e regementet intar stridsställning vid Mukdens lilla västra port under Mukdenincidenten 1931 – en händelse som markerade början på Japans ockupation av Manchuriet.

In mid-September, while many China watchers were focused on the Xiangshan Forum, the Chinese military's annual high-level security and defense convening in Beijing, another major annual meeting was being held by the Ministry of Public Security in the Chinese city of Lianyungang (2-2-3). The Lianyungang Forum dates to 2015 but was upgraded and renamed the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum in 2022 following Xi Jinping's launch of the Global Security Initiative. This year it was attended by 2,000 participants from 120 countries, regions and international organizations. The theme was “Shaping Global Public Security Together: United Action to Tackle Diverse Threats.” As Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong made clear in his opening speech, China is advancing an alternative to the western-led security order. Dr. Sheena Chestnut Greitens is a leading expert on Beijing's push to reshape the global security order and promote China as a model and global security provider to developing countries. Sheena is an associate professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin where she directs UT's Asia Policy Program and serves as editor-in-chief of the Texas National Security Review. She is also a nonresident scholar at the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace, and a visiting associate professor of research in Indo-Pacific security at the China Landpower Studies Center of the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute. Relevant to this episode's discussion, Sheena recently published a co-authored report for the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace Carnegie titled “A New World Cop.” Timestamps: [00:00] Start [02:30] The Global Security Initiative and Xi Jinping's Grand Strategy [05:22] Outcomes of the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum [08:50] What Do Participant Countries Gain?

Mistrust in science has never been higher. Fewer people are getting vaccinated, a known vaccine skeptic is leading the most powerful health agency in America and an outbreak of measels in Texas this year led to the first fatalities in almost a decade. Then, in August, a gunman opened fire on the headquarters of the Centre for Disease Control with many speculating he was fuelled by misinformation about health.Increasingly this misinformation is being exported around the world.Marianna Spring is the BBC's Social Media Investigations Correspondent and tells the story of how suspicion of science in America helped radicalise a British mom with devastating consequences.Producers: Cat Farnsworth and Lucy Pawle Executive producer: Annie Brown Mix: Travis Evans Senior news editor: China Collins Image: Martin Pope / Getty
When U.S. beef, pork, and poultry are exported, they're tested to make sure residues from antibiotics, dewormers, or other animal health products stay below certain limits. The catch is that those limits aren't the same everywhere. What's considered safe under U.S. rules might not pass in places like the European Union, Japan, or Mexico. That mismatch can lead to trade barriers, rejected shipments, and lost market opportunities—even if the product is perfectly fine by U.S. standards. To help us understand what this means for producers, we're joined by Akinbode Okunola, a graduate research assistant and Ph.D. student in Agricultural Economics here at Nebraska. He and his advisor, Dr. Elliott Dennis, recently published an article about how U.S. veterinary drug residue regulations compare with those in major export markets and how that may impact trade.

China führt beim Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien, besonders bei Solarkraft, und auch bei deren Export. China ist auch ein Gegenmodell zu den krisengeschüttelten Demokratien des Westens. Und in der Polykrise blicken viele auf die riesige Wirtschaftsmacht: Was will China? Wohin entwickelt es sich und mit ihm die Welt? Darüber sprechen wir mit Jens Mühling, dem China-Korrespondenten der ZEIT. Jens Mühling berichtet von Shanghai aus über chinesische Wirtschaft und Politik, aber er beschreibt auch den Alltag der Chinesen zwischen digitaler Repression und technischem Fortschritt. Für die ZEIT hat er die Widersprüche des Alltags in einem persönlichen Essay festgehalten: "Ich lebe gerne in China. Ich möchte hier eigentlich nicht leben". Auch darüber sprechen wir mit ihm. In jeder Folge des Krisenpodcasts besprechen und hinterfragen Petra Pinzler und Stefan Schmitt eine Facette der krisenhaften Gegenwart mit einem Gast. Diesmal kommen gleich mehrere vor: die Klimakrise und der Verlust an Natur, die Erschütterung der Weltordnung, nicht zuletzt durch Donald Trumps Rückkehr, technologischer Fortschritt und bürgerliche Freiheit – die, wie man am Beispiel China sieht, nicht zwangsläufig miteinander einhergehen.

La storia di Riina e dei Corleonesi continua. Il video si concentra sul periodo cruciale che precede e segue la sentenza del Maxiprocesso di Palermo, evidenziando come l'omicidio di un bambino abbia messo in crisi l'organizzazione mafiosa. Il Barbaro Omicidio di Claudio Domino (1986) Il Contesto: Il 7 ottobre 1986, il piccolo Claudio Domino di 11 anni viene ucciso a Palermo davanti alla cartoleria della madre [00:12]. Il padre era operaio e titolare di una società di pulizie che aveva ottenuto l'appalto per l'Aula Bunker del Maxiprocesso [00:22]. L'Esecuzione: L'assassino in moto e con il casco chiama Claudio per nome; quando il bambino si avvicina, viene colpito con un solo proiettile in mezzo agli occhi [00:40], [02:10]. Il colpo all'occhio simboleggia, nella logica mafiosa, che la vittima ha "visto assai" [03:04]. La Condanna in Aula: Il giorno dopo, dalle gabbie dell'Aula Bunker, il mafioso Giovanni Bontate legge un comunicato in cui condanna il "barbaro delitto" [03:47]. Questo gesto segna un momento storico poiché un mafioso ammette per la prima volta l'esistenza di un'organizzazione comune ("noi condanniamo") [04:08]. Bontate fu in seguito considerato un "pazzo" per queste dichiarazioni e, secondo il narratore, sarebbe stato assassinato [05:46]. Motivazioni Controverse: Tesi Ufficiale: Claudio aveva visto qualcosa di scomodo, forse uno scambio di droga (come indicato dal pentito Giovan Battista Ferrante) [07:10]. Tesi Alternativa: Il pentito Gaspare Mutolo (nel 2023) suggerisce che il bambino fu ucciso perché aveva scoperto la madre in un atteggiamento intimo con il presunto amante, Salvatore Graffagnino, il quale, temendo che il bambino parlasse, ne ordinò l'eliminazione [08:01], [09:59]. La madre di Claudio nega categoricamente questa versione [10:27]. Verità e Giustizia: La Procura ha riaperto il caso nel 2021, cercando ancora oggi una verità definitiva per un delitto che non è mai stato chiarito in modo univoco [13:16]. La Sentenza del Maxiprocesso (1987) Il Contesto Giudiziario: Il processo, definito "un processo penale come tutti gli altri" dai PM Signorino e Ayala [14:24], non doveva essere la "condanna della mafia già scritta nella storia," ma la condanna dei singoli mafiosi [14:48]. Il Papa di Cosa Nostra: Prima del verdetto, Michele Greco ("il Papa") cerca di spaventare la giuria con le sue parole finali: "io vi auguro la pace, signor presidente, a tutti voi io auguro la pace" [17:17]. Il Verdetto Storico: La sentenza viene pronunciata il 16 dicembre 1987. Su 475 imputati, 114 vengono assolti. Vengono inflitti in totale 2665 anni di carcere. Vengono pronunciati 19 ergastoli (tra cui per gli uomini della Commissione) [18:26]. La Vittoria del "Teorema Buscetta": La Corte d'Assise convalida il "teorema Buscetta" [17:47], che dimostra l'esistenza e l'unicità di un'organizzazione mafiosa unitaria denominata Cosa Nostra [19:40]. Il Commento di Giovanni Falcone: Il giudice Falcone, intervistato dopo la sentenza, conferma che i pentiti (come Buscetta e Contorno) sono stati importanti non come base di partenza, ma come "punto di arrivo" e "conferma" di risultanze probatorie indirette acquisite in precedenza [20:42 ISCRIVITI AL CANALE: https://www.youtube.com/@italiamistero?sub_confirmation=1 #italiamistero #storia #storiavera #perte #Maxiprocesso #ClaudioDomino #CosaNostra 00:00:22 Il padre di Claudio Domino aveva un appalto di pulizia per l'Aula Bunker del Maxiprocesso. 00:00:40 Claudio, 11 anni, viene ucciso con un colpo in mezzo agli occhi. 00:03:04 Il colpo all'occhio significa che la vittima ha "visto assai". 00:03:47 Giovanni Bontate legge il comunicato di condanna dalle gabbie: prima ammissione dell'esistenza di "noi" (Cosa Nostra). 00:05:46 Bontate fu considerato un pazzo dagli avvocati per le sue dichiarazioni. 00:07:20 Alcuni pentiti indicano il possibile ruolo di Giovanni Aiello (Faccia da Mostro) nell'omicidio Domino. 00:08:01 Gaspare Mutolo (pentito) suggerisce la motivazione: il bambino aveva visto la madre con l'amante Graffagnino. 00:13:16 La Procura riapre il caso nel 2021. 00:17:17 Michele Greco (il Papa), alla fine del processo, augura la pace ai giudici. 00:17:25 La sentenza viene pronunciata il 16 dicembre 1987. 00:18:26 Vengono inflitti 19 ergastoli; la Corte convalida il "teorema Buscetta". 00:19:40 Giovanni Falcone ribadisce: non è un "teorema", ma un insieme di prove che dimostrano l'esistenza di Cosa Nostra. 00:20:42 Falcone: i pentiti (Buscetta e Contorno) sono stati il "punto di arrivo" (la conferma) di prove già acquisite.

Ad agosto, dopo due mesi consecutivi di crescita congiunturale, secondo l’Istat l’export verso i paesi extra Ue registra un’ampia riduzione. Le più forti calano verso Turchia (-26,1%) e Stati Uniti (-21,2%). Sul fronte importazioni le contrazioni più ampie riguardano Regno Unito (-36,6%) e paesi Opec (-27,1%), mentre crescono gli acquisti da Stati Uniti (+68,5%) e paesi Asean (+13,6%). Questi dati arrivano dopo la nuova raffica di dazi annunciati dal presidente Usa Donald Trump, in vigore dal primo ottobre: tariffe al 100% sui film realizzati all’estero, dazi al 50% su mobili da cucina e da bagno, dazi al 100% sui farmaci di marca o brevettati non prodotti negli Usa ed estensione del 25% alle importazioni di camion pesanti. La Casa Bianca non ha ancora chiarito se i prodotti europei saranno esclusi e, in caso contrario, si tratterebbe di una violazione dell’accordo con Bruxelles, che non è ancora giuridicamente vincolante. Intanto la Commissione Ue, attraverso il portavoce Olof Gill, si dice tranquilla ricordando il limite tariffario globale del 15% per le esportazioni europee di farmaci, legname e semiconduttori inserito nell’accordo quadro, che garantisce agli operatori economici Ue che non saranno applicate tariffe più elevate. Affrontiamo il tema con Lucio Miranda, presidente e fondatore Export USA.Moda a Milano, l’indotto della fashion week sfiora i 240 milioni di euroSi è chiusa la Milano Fashion Week con sette giorni di sfilate, presentazioni ed eventi, oltre 170 appuntamenti ufficiali e circa 1.000 showroom. L’impatto economico sulla città è stimato in 238,9 milioni di euro, +12,3% rispetto a settembre 2024. Quasi la metà è destinata allo shopping, il 39% a ristorazione e alloggi, il 15% ai trasporti. Cresce quindi l’indotto ma cala la spesa media, mentre resta difficile la situazione di molte imprese del tessile e dell’abbigliamento, strette tra debolezza della domanda e costi energetici. Secondo l’Osservatorio Crif il tasso di default delle società del settore è salito al 3,3% nel primo semestre 2024, sopra la media manifatturiera del 2,5%. Una possibile strada è la Cina, tra supply chain digitalizzate, sostenibilità e tecnologie innovative. Pitti e Accademia del Lusso hanno firmato un memorandum con scambi, cooperazione commerciale e investimenti italiani per lo sviluppo dei marchi moda. Andiamo dietro la notizia con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore Newsmondo.itEx Ilva, sindacati non partecipano al tavolo sulla cig straordinaria: Attendiamo convocazione a Palazzo ChigiFim, Fiom, Uilm e Usb non partecipano all’incontro convocato dal ministero del Lavoro sulla cig straordinaria all’ex Ilva. Chiedono che sia Palazzo Chigi a convocare un tavolo che chiarisca il percorso del governo e della struttura commissariale, considerando i 4.450 lavoratori coinvolti. I commissari straordinari hanno ricevuto una decina di manifestazioni di interesse, da attori nazionali e internazionali, e si sono dati una o due settimane per valutare. Dopo l’uscita di Baku Steel e Jindal, restano in campo i fondi americani Bedrock e Flacks con Steel Business Europe per rilevare l’intero gruppo. Altri puntano a singoli asset: Renexia al futuro impianto Dri, Marcegaglia e Imc alla controllata francese Socova, Marcegaglia e Sideralba ai tubifici, e la cordata Profilmec, Eusider e Marcegalia all’acciaieria di Racconigi. C’è anche l’offerta simbolica di Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra di Taranto che propone 2 euro per chiudere gli altiforni, non compatibile con i criteri della gara. Il ministro Urso riconosce una situazione complessa, aggravata dalle questioni giudiziarie e dal blocco di un altoforno, e ribadisce che la priorità è esaminare le offerte sull’intero asset, con la vendita a pezzi come seconda opzione.

Jake Sullivan was the US National Security Advisor from 2021-2025. He joined our friends on The Cognitive Revolution podcast in August to discuss AI as a critical national security issue. We thought it was such a good interview and we wanted more people to see it, so we're cross-posting it here on The 80,000 Hours Podcast.Jake and host Nathan Labenz discuss:Jake's four-category framework to think about AI risks and opportunities: security, economics, society, and existential.Why Jake advocates for "managed competition" with China — where the US and China "compete like hell" while maintaining sufficient guardrails to prevent conflict.Why Jake thinks competition is a "chronic condition" of the US-China relationship that cannot be solved with “grand bargains.”How current conflicts are providing "glimpses of the future" with lessons about scale, attritability, and the potential for autonomous weapons as AI gets integrated into modern warfare.Why Jake worries that Pentagon bureaucracy prevents rapid AI adoption while China's People's Liberation Army may be better positioned to integrate AI capabilities.And why we desperately need private sector leadership: AI is "the first technology with such profound national security applications that the government really had very little to do with."Check out more of Nathan's interviews on The Cognitive Revolution YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CognitiveRevolutionPodcastOriginally produced by: https://aipodcast.ingThis edit by: Simon Monsour, Dominic Armstrong, and Milo McGuire | 80,000 HoursChapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Luisa's intro (00:01:06)Jake's AI worldview (00:02:08)What Washington gets — and doesn't — about AI (00:04:43)Concrete AI opportunities (00:10:53)Trump's AI Action Plan (00:19:36)Middle East AI deals (00:23:26)Is China really a threat?

Het is weer zo ver. Trump is boos, omdat zijn land ‘overspoeld’ wordt met producten uit het buitenland. Hij voert daarom volgende week (op 1 oktober) tarieven in. Een tarief van 25 procent dus op zware vrachtwagens, 50 procent op keukenkastjes en 100 procent op merkgeneesmiddelen. Het goede nieuws voor Europa is dat wij onder een ander tarief vallen, verder is er niet veel goed nieuws te melden. Deze aflevering hebben we het over deze nieuwe escalatie. Ook steken we hand in eigen boezem, want waarom valt Europa nu China aan met tarieven op staal? Trump zat niet stil: hij keurt ook de verkoop van de Amerikaanse tak van TikTok goed. Alleen China moet nog wel even tekenen bij het kruisje. Ook hoor je meer over eventuele renteverlagingen in de VS. In de middag kwam het inflatiecijfer uit. Wat betekent dat voor het rentebeleid van de Fed?Verder gaat het ook over twee Hollandse drama's. Dat van Ajax (de ene na de andere commissaris loopt weg) en dat van Philips. Dat heeft problemen in eigen land én in de VS. Hebben we ook nog nieuws over Elon Musk. Die heeft behoorlijk gefaald met zijn werk voor DOGE, blijkt nu.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Dr Azar Jammine, Director and Chief Economist at Econometrix, and Donald MacKay, Director at XA International Trade Advisors, about South Africa’s fight to remain part of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), the trade pact that gives local exporters duty-free access to the US. With billions in exports and thousands of jobs on the line, they unpack the risks, the politics, and whether the government's assurance that “we haven’t given up on AGOA” is enough to secure the country’s place. In other interviews, Dr Kingsley Makhubela, Risk Analyst and Former Diplomat, talks about Taiwan’s decision to suspend curbs on chip exports to South Africa after just two days, what triggered the move, and the diplomatic and trade implications for Pretoria.

The Defense Department's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) effort has uncovered that many contractors are unaware of export control violations, which could lead to significant legal and financial penalties. As the certification becomes mandatory, early assessments indicate common violations of the International Traffic in Arms Regulation and Export Administration Regulations. Contractors are urged to map controlled, unclassified information and review data controls to identify and mitigate these violations before audits occur. This highlights the critical need to integrate export compliance with cybersecurity measures.Meanwhile, Congress is experimenting with Microsoft's AI chatbot, CoPilot, as part of an initiative to incorporate artificial intelligence into legislative operations. This move has sparked concerns among critics regarding the potential risks of misinformation and privacy hazards associated with using experimental technology in governance. Additionally, Congress faces challenges in renewing a vital cyber threat information sharing program, which is set to expire soon, raising alarms about the implications for national cybersecurity efforts.On the cybersecurity front, artificial intelligence is increasingly being exploited by criminal hackers, leading to a new era of sophisticated attacks. Generative AI technologies are being used to craft convincing phishing scams and manipulate everyday tools to execute attacks without triggering security alerts. Recent incidents have demonstrated the effectiveness of these tactics, emphasizing the need for heightened vigilance and advanced security measures to protect against evolving threats.In the realm of technology, companies like Notion, Google, and Zoom are embedding powerful AI features into their platforms, fundamentally changing how users interact with these tools. Notion's new AI agent can autonomously perform tasks, while Google has integrated its Gemini AI into Chrome for enhanced usability and security. Zoom is set to introduce photorealistic AI avatars for meetings, showcasing the rapid adoption of AI in everyday applications. As these tools become the new baseline, IT service providers must adapt by focusing on governance, compliance, and security to ensure that their clients can safely navigate this evolving landscape.

Italský přístav Ravenna minulý týden odmítl vpustit dva kamiony, které podle úřadů převážely zbraně pro Izrael. Starosta Alessandro Barattoni v prohlášení uvedl, že zvlášť poté, co Itálie zastavila prodej zbraní Izraeli je nepřijatelné, aby kvůli byrokratickým mezerám tyto zbraně mohly procházet Itálií z jiných zemí. A tou má být podle serveru Il Post Česko. Přestože to nepotvrdil ani starosta Ravenny ani české ministerstvo zahraničí, faktem je, že zatímco přibývá zemí, které zavádějí embargo na vývoz zbraní do Izraele, kromě Itálie například Španělsko, Česko jejich export zvyšuje. „Máme data o loňském roce, kdy Česko do Izraele vyvezlo vojenský materiál v hodnotě více než 1,2 miliard korun. Oproti roku 2022 je to skoro dvojnásobek," říká ve Výtahu Respektu Magdaléna Fajtová. Má Česká republika informace o tom, jak jsou její zbraně v Izraeli využívány? Rozhoduje o vývozu stát nebo přímo zbrojovky? A porušuje Česko něco vývozem zbraní do Izraele? Nejen to se dozvíte ve středečním zpravodajském podcastu.

5 miljard dollar. Dat is het bedrag dat Nvidia opeens over heeft voor concurrent Intel. Samen gaan de 2 chipmakers datacenters bouwen en computeronderdelen ontwerpen. Beleggers in Intel gillen het uit van enthousiasme. En ook in Nederland wordt feest gevierd, want de aandelen van ASML, ASM International en Besi doen ook een flinke vreugdesprong. Gaat één van de belangrijkste klanten van de chippers dan weer flink inkopen doen binnenkort? Dat bespreken we in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over de snelle planga van Mark Zuckerberg. De topman van Meta kreeg zijn jaarlijkse anderhalf uur om over de toekomst van zijn bedrijf te praten. En die anderhalf uur stond volledig in het teken van het succesnummer van Meta: de slimme bril. De samenwerking met Ray-Ban smaakt naar meer, en Meta gaat daar maar al te graag op in. Daarbij doet Zuckerberg ook nog een stevige uitspraak: want het einde van het smartphone-tijdperk is volgens hem in zicht. En verder hebben we het nog over de Federal Reserve. Die gaf Donald Trump dan eindelijk een beetje zijn zin, met een renteverlaging van een kwart procentpunt. Maar toch verliep de vergadering niet helemaal zoals verwacht. Er was maar één Fed-bestuurder die pleitte voor een grotere verlaging van de beleidsrente, terwijl de verwachting was dat dat er op z'n minst drie zouden zijn.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
PREVIEW: HEADLINE: China's Economic Weakness: Deflation, Overcapacity, and Export Barriers GUEST NAME: Alan Tonelson SUMMARY: John Batchelor and Alan Tonelson discuss the crippling deflation gripping China's economy, a result of its plan to promote overcapacity. China has alienated many countries, hindering its ability to move products and no longer enjoys the "American safety valve" for exports. Tonelson explains that this barrier prevents continued Chineseeconomic growth, with no apparent solution. 1952
Listen to the SF Daily podcast for today, September 16, 2025, with host Lorrie Boyer. These quick and informative episodes cover the commodity markets, weather, and the big things happening in agriculture each morning. The challenges in corn and soybean yields include some areas experiencing below-average yields and high shatter rates. Despite this, U.S. corn and soybean exports are up significantly, with soybean crush running 20% ahead of last year. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points due to a weakening labor market. Brazil's corn planting is slightly behind last year, and soybean planting is just starting. Export inspections of corn, wheat, and soybeans are up, with corn inspections at 1.51 million metric tons. Cattle futures are supported by tight supplies, and thunderstorms are forecast for parts of the southern plains and eastern Iowa. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
New Zealand's creative sector has much more impact on the economy than commonly believed. The sector is now the country's fourth-largest export industry, worth $13 billion a year and supporting 100,000 jobs. It's also more productive than agriculture, with each worker generating $346,000 a year compared to $317,000. Toi Mai Workforce Development Council CEO Claire Robinson told Mike Hosking it's bigger than wine, fruit, and seafood – all industries we think are part of our economic narrative. But despite this, she says, the creative sector doesn't have a voice or a seat around the cabinet table. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Episode Notes Okay so it hasn't been ten years of Export Audio. It has, however, been 200 episodes! We decided to record a podcast about it (kind of).
Apple en andere westerse bedrijven kennen het maar al te goed. Opeens worden je vrachtwagens in China dubbel zo vaak gecontroleerd. Xi Jinping zegt plotseling tegen de staatsmedia dat jouw bedrijf consumenten mishandelt. En de lokale regelgever? Die wil NU meer belasting zien! Het kan twee dingen betekenen: u moet op audiëntie komen bij de Chinese overheid en mag toezeggingen gaan doen, of u bent gedegradeerd tot pokerchip op de geopolitieke speeltafel. Het laatste overkomt Nvidia deze week. Want die overname van vijf jaar geleden die de Chinese regelgever allang goed had gekeurd? Die kan opeens niet meer door de beugel. We bespreken de gevolgen voor 's werelds grootste chipbedrijf. Han Dieperink van Aureus meldt terloops even dat die 15 procent van Chinese chipomzet die Nvidia aan de regering Trump mocht afdragen, op niks was gebaseerd. Minder nep is de nieuwe Europese concurrent voor Starlink. Elon Musk verslikte zich dit weekend twee keer in zijn koffie: net even de prijs van Tesla omhoog gekocht, ligt Starlink er opeens uit! En tot overmaat van ramp komen de Europese defensiebedrijven Thales, Leonardo en Airbus met een nieuwe Franse joint venture die gaat concurreren met zijn oppermachtige satellietbedrijf. Verder bespreken we opmerkelijke veranderingen op Wall Street. De nieuwe baas van beurswaakhond SEC wil eerst netjes blaffen voordat 'ie bijt. Volgens Paul Atkins is de SEC iets te vaak een sheriff geweest die je kop eraf knalt en dan pas vragen stelt. Goed nieuws voor de boeven dus. Tot slot doet Trump ook nog een duit in het zakje van de regelgeverij: het liefst stoppen we met die kwartaalcijfers. Veel te hijgerig, schrijft hij op Truth Social. Liever elk half jaar een teken van leven met wat cijfers. Jim Cramer is in elk geval al aan boord.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Listen to gain insight into how the critical mineral has been impacted by recent export controls Join Ellie Saklatvala, global metals editorial lead, as she delves into the antimony market with fellow antimony experts, Cristina Belda, associate editor, and Zach Schumacher, US metals editor, to gain insight into how the critical mineral has been impacted by recent export controls coming from China.
Starting October 1st, 2025, the Chinese government is enforcing stricter export compliance rules that could significantly disrupt supply chains. Exporters will need to disclose the manufacturer's identity and prove that every component was purchased the formal way, with aligned flows of materials, contracts, and tax invoices. In this short bonus episode, Renaud Anjoran explains: What the “formal way” means in practice How these rules may impact VAT rebates and why non-compliant products will no longer qualify The risks of drop-shipping and direct sourcing under the new system Why a rush on shipping and limited Hong Kong warehouse space could cause delays Immediate steps you should take to protect your supply chain before the deadline If you manufacture in or export from China, this is urgent information you can't afford to ignore.

Government Accountability Office (GAO) Podcast: Watchdog Report
In the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, the United States and its allies responded with wide-ranging sanctions and export controls on Russia. What impact have these actions had on Russia's economy and its war efforts and have sanctions achieved…
The 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit wasn't just a meeting; it was the unveiling of a strategy. Hosted by Xi Jinping, the summit served as a calculated demonstration of Sino-Russian convening power. More importantly, it marked a concrete effort to operationalize an alternative, multipolar system designed explicitly to bypass Western economic and technological architectures.We just witnessed a significant inflection point in the global strategic competition. The rhetoric in Tianjin was overtly adversarial, with Xi Jinping denouncing "bullying behavior" and a "Cold War mentality." But beyond the rhetoric, the summit launched China's Global Governance Initiative (GGI), formalized commitments to building parallel financial infrastructure, and featured a strategically significant—and complex—détente between China and India.To break down the implications of this pivotal gathering, SCSP's President and CEO Ylli Bajraktari sat down with colleagues David Lin (China/East Asia/Tech), Joe Wang (Russia/Europe), and Sameer Lalwani (U.S.-India Defense) for an immediate assessment.The Propaganda Coup and Autocratic Convening PowerThe immediate takeaway from the summit was the sheer spectacle. Xi positioned himself at the center of the largest gathering in the organization's history, flanked by Vladimir Putin and, significantly, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.The timing was deliberate. As David Lin noted, it was a "big week for Xi." The SCO meeting was strategically sandwiched between the first-ever public meeting of Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi, and a massive World War II anniversary parade in Beijing featuring thousands of troops and military hardware."It's a huge propaganda win for Beijing," Lin observed. "It gives Xi an opportunity to promote itself as being this global convener," while simultaneously pushing a tech-focused agenda.For Vladimir Putin, the summit was essential for mitigating diplomatic isolation and promoting the SCO as an alternative to NATO."Look at the past couple of weeks of Putin... he's going to be riding high right now," said Joe Wang. While few concrete deals may have materialized immediately that changed the dynamics in Ukraine, the optics were invaluable. "Being seen with President Xi, being seen with Modi... it's like Russia's back. For him, it's a great PR coup."The Architecture of a New Techno-Economic OrderThe summit demonstrated that the SCO is evolving from a regional security forum into the primary vehicle for the PRC to consolidate a bloc resistant to U.S. influence. We are witnessing the acceleration of a bifurcated world, characterized not just by differing political ideologies, but by competing technological ecosystems and financial systems.1. The Export of Digital AuthoritarianismXi formally introduced the Global Governance Initiative (GGI). While promoting "sovereign equality," the GGI is, in practice, a strategic blueprint to legitimize digital sovereignty—the right of states to control domestic information ecosystems, data flows, and technological infrastructure without adherence to democratic norms.The SCO's endorsement provides an institutional foundation for the PRC to export its model of techno-authoritarian control. This isn't just theoretical."At the SCO in particular, China was trying to push a lot of its techno-political agenda," David Lin emphasized. This included announcements that Beijing wants to set up S&T cooperation centers, an “AI application cooperation center,” launch joint solar and wind projects, and push Beidou, its alternative to GPS, across the SCO member states. Taken together, this could directly challenge the open, interoperable architecture championed by the U.S. and its allies, moving toward a fractured, PRC-controlled digital ecosystem across Eurasia.2. Accelerating Financial De-CouplingThe most concrete outcome was the political decision to fast-track the establishment of an SCO Development Bank, seeded with significant Chinese capital. This mechanism, coupled with agreements to expand the use of local currencies for intra-SCO trade, is explicitly designed to circumvent the SWIFT system and erode the efficacy of U.S. financial sanctions.This coordinated effort directly challenges the foundation of U.S. economic statecraft by building a resilient, alternative financial architecture among major energy producers (Russia, Iran) and the world's largest manufacturer (China).The India Factor: A Strategic RecalibrationThe most significant geopolitical development, and the one that caused the most consternation in Washington, was the visible rapprochement between Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi—Modi's first visit to China in seven years."For a lot of US-India relationship watchers, Prime Minister Modi's visit to Beijing and attending this meeting came as a big surprise. It was a shock," Ylli Bajraktari noted.How should the U.S. interpret this move by a critical Quad partner?"Honestly, I think this was inevitable in some ways. India has been rebalancing," explained Sameer Lalwani. India has always professed itself to be a multi-aligned country, but recent U.S. actions also played a significant role. "The elephant in the room is, the United States has been pushing India around a little bit more... in terms of tariffs, additional tariffs because of Russian oil."Lalwani argued that India was "demonstrating they had some options." However, this does not signal a fundamental shift. "It shouldn't be lost on us that before India went to this, they stopped in Japan first." Furthermore, Modi notably absented himself from the military parade, signaling nuance in his engagement—he would participate in the SCO, but not the military spectacle.The underlying strategic realities also remain unchanged."India has a border with China that's still disputed, and China continues to coerce India... [and] China armed, trained and wired the weapons that Pakistan used to fight India" in a recent conflict. — Sameer Lalwani"I don't think that's forgotten for India," Lalwani added. The U.S.-India defense relationship remains a strong ballast, pointing to ongoing joint exercises (like Yudh Abhyas currently underway in Alaska) and India's reliance on U.S. platforms for maritime reconnaissance.The Limits of the Axis (And Why We Can't Ignore It)While the summit projected unity, the SCSP analysts urged a nuanced view of the underlying relationships."It is important to remember that a lot of this is perhaps only skin deep," David Lin cautioned, pointing to the recent history of violent border clashes between China and India, and the tight spot Beijing was put in by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.Yet, dismissing the SCO would be a strategic error. The organization has evolved significantly."I remember I was in grad school when [the SCO] first came up... we all kind of jokingly just laughed it off," Joe Wang recalled. "Fast forward 15, 20 years and see where it is now... Things don't just happen overnight."While the "bromance between Putin and Xi" is undeniable, the integration is not comparable to U.S. alliances like NATO or the U.S.-Japan relationship. "There's still a level of distrust that I think we need to be mindful about," Wang noted.The trap is assuming this alignment is already solidified, while simultaneously failing to plan for the contingency that it might be. "If you're in the US government, you don't have the luxury of not taking a lot of these statements at face value," Wang said. "We need to plan ahead."The U.S. Response: Competing in the Gray ZoneThe 2025 SCO Summit confirms that the organization is the leading edge of China's campaign to fracture the global order. How should the United States respond?1. Offer a Compelling Alternative Tech Stack. "One of the lowest hanging fruit things the U.S. should do is show that there is an alternative to this," David Lin argued. As the SCO bloc develops internal capacities and indigenous technology standards, the U.S. must demonstrate there is a viable, democratic alternative to the "China tech stack" that Beijing is actively exporting.2. Master the Game of Global Diplomacy. The U.S. must regain its strategic agility and relearn how to operate in a complex world. "After the Cold War, one of the things that America stopped doing well was play the game of global diplomacy," Joe Wang argued. The U.S. has often viewed the world in black-and-white terms, assuming its preeminence was undisputed."We've lost that strategic foresight and ability to be nimble and operate in this sort of gray zone... We need to see the world for being the gray zone that it is." — Joe WangThis means avoiding the trap of reacting to events like Modi's visit by assuming allegiances have permanently shifted—"Oh my God, Modi is in China. Therefore it must mean that he's now on their side"—while still applying pressure and offering incentives to keep partners aligned.3. Double Down on Real Alliances. The U.S. must emphasize the depth of its own partnerships, which Lin noted "runs so much deeper" than the transactional relationships within the SCO.For India specifically, Sameer Lalwani urged action over reaction. "I don't think there's any need to overreact to cheap talk." Instead, the U.S. bureaucracy needs to move faster on concrete deliverables, and Congress should confirm key diplomatic nominees. "When India says it wants to buy Javelin missiles and it's ready to do so, I don't want that to get stalled in a process when we need the political wins now."The competition is no longer just between the U.S. and China; it is between the U.S.-led democratic order and a sophisticated, resource-rich, PRC-led coalition. The Tianjin Summit is a clear signal that this coalition is moving from rhetoric to action. The U.S. must do the same. This is a public episode.

Alan Rozenshtein, Research Director at Lawfare, sits down with Sam Winter-Levy, a Fellow in the Technology and International Affairs Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Janet Egan, a Senior Fellow with the Technology and National Security Program at the Center for a New American Security; and Peter Harrell, a Nonresident Fellow at Carnegie and a former Senior Director for International Economics at the White House National Security Council under President Joe Biden.They discuss the Trump administration's recent decision to allow U.S. companies Nvidia and AMD to export a range of advanced AI semiconductors to China in exchange for a 15% payment to the U.S. government. They talk about the history of the export control regime targeting China's access to AI chips, the strategic risks of allowing China to acquire powerful chips like the Nvidia H20, and the potential harm to the international coalition that has worked to restrict China's access to this technology. They also debate the statutory and constitutional legality of the deal, which appears to function as an export tax, a practice explicitly prohibited by the Constitution.Mentioned in this episode:The Financial Times article breaking the news about the Nvidia dealThe Trump Administration's AI Action PlanFind Scaling Laws on the Lawfare website, and subscribe to never miss an episode.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
