Today Razib talks to repeat guest Steve Hsu about China, a topic with so many currently relevant dimensions gIven the PRC's clear emergence as an economic, military and political rival to the US. Hsu is a Caltech‑trained theoretical physicist who migrated from black holes to big data, co‑invented privacy tech at SafeWeb, helped found the biotech company Genomic Prediction, all while remaining a prominent public voice on genetics, intelligence and the future of human enhancement. He is also a professor of physics at Michigan State, and from 2012-2020 was vice president for research and graduate studies there. Razib and Hsu discuss whether China is innovating and how meanwhile American regulation and culture are stifling its domestic creativity. A proud Iowan, Hsu rebuts the notion that he is pro-China, seeing himself simply as a realist convinced that it is important to face the PRC head on and assess its strengths candidly. He and Razib talk about China's demographic headwinds. Hsu points out the reality of demographic inertia. The generation already born in the 21st century is an abundant young workforce who will power the nation's rise for the next 30-40 years; that disastrously plummeting fertility making headlines today is a concern post-dated for at least a generation down the road. They also discuss the quality of Chinese higher education, and the reality that the population today is far more educated than it was 25 years ago. Hsu also talks about possible cultural and biobehavioral differences between East Asians and Europeans, and addresses why South Asians seem to be better adapted to succeed in American corporate culture.

Ford unveiled a high-tech electric Bronco, but it's only for China. Meanwhile, Tesla opened its retro-style diner and drive-in in Hollywood, complete with Superchargers, rooftop views, and robot service.Franchised dealerships saw a big jump in net profits this quarter as customers rushed to buy before tariffs hit, according to the Q2 2025 Presidio-NCM Benchmark. Profit gains came with a small asterisk because of the big cybersecurity hit last year. However this does mark the first quarterly improvement in domestic brands in three years.Average franchised dealerships posted a 22% net profit increase year-over-year, helped by both import and domestic brand gains.Import stores led with a 34% profit rise, luxury stores up 32%, and domestic stores rebounded 24% for the first time since 2022.New-vehicle gross profit per unit rose 6.1% from Q1 2025 to $2,128, reversing a multi-year decline.Used-vehicle gross profit climbed 11%, while finance and insurance income increased 5.6%, supporting overall revenue growth to $22 million per dealership.“Sustained profitability will come from a focus on fundamentals and a willingness to adapt as market conditions continue to evolve,” said Paul Faletti, CEO of NCM Associates.Ford has built a fully electric Bronco SUV with some impressive specs like 403-mile range, advanced EV tech, including lidar and 30+ sensors for semi-autonomous driving, and a heavier/smoother ride but there's a catch… it's only coming to ChinaThe Bronco New Energy offers two powertrains: a full electric with a 105 kWh battery and an extended-range hybrid (EREV) combining a 43.7 kWh battery with a 1.5L gas generator.The hybrid version can cover up to 800 miles total, with 137 miles purely on battery before the gas engine kicks in.The SUV is big and heavy—nearly 5,800 pounds and almost 9 inches longer than the gas Bronco—providing a planted ride but potentially slower cornering.Ford's smart cabin includes unique modes like “naps, pets, camping overnight” designed for comfort and convenience.Tesla's new Diner and Drive-In in Hollywood is ready to serve nostalgia and innovation side by side.

From 1979 into the late 80's China conducted a very public search for children with special psychic ablilities. Not making much news in the West at the time, an OMNI magazine reporter got an inside scoop. It wasn't long before the program went underground and similar ones started up in the U.S., Russia and other countries. Who were these children? What were their abilities? Was it all fake or were the findings real? Where are all those children now and what has been the fall out of these programs?Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

Los hunos fueron unos guerreros de la estepa que llegaron a Europa oriental a finales del siglo IV d.C. Primero atacaron a los germanos que vivían allá, después trabaron alianzas con ellos y con los romanos, y finalmente, gracias al liderazgo de su rey Atila, pusieron en jaque a todo el imperio romano. Han pasado más de 1500 años desde entonces, pero a día de hoy los hunos nos siguen planteando las mismas preguntas que se hacían los romanos: ¿de dónde salió esa gente? ¿Cómo lograron armar una de las maquinarias militares más formidables de la historia? Lamentablemente los hunos, como la gran mayoría de pueblos de la estepa, eran nómadas y no encontraron tiempo para lujos como el de escribir su propia historia, así que nos toca a nosotros reconstruirla con las pistas que su paso por esta tierra fue dejando. Hoy os hablamos de una investigación que analiza lo poco que ha quedado de la lengua de los hunos y trata de encontrar vínculos con otros habitantes de la estepa. La imagen que emerge de este artículo es que el "núcleo duro" de la sociedad huna podría estar formado por gentes paleosiberianas, un grupo étnico que en la actualidad se reduce a apenas 1000 personas que viven en pequeñas aldeas en el corazón de Siberia. Si estos autores están en lo cierto, los hunos habrían realizado una migración épica entre China y Europa. Si queréis leer el artículo, se trata de "Linguistic Evidence Suggests that Xiōng-nú and Huns Spoke the Same Paleo-Siberian Language", de Svenja Bonmann y Simon Fries. Es de acceso libre y lo podéis encontrar aquí: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-968X.12321 Si, como a mí, os interesan los pueblos de la estepa y lo que la lingüística nos puede contar sobre ellos, os recomiendo que revisitéis el episodio s11e15 de La Brújula. En él os hablamos sobre otra familia lingüística, la transeuroasiática, que nos habla de otro viaje extraordinario a través de la estepa: el de los antepasados de los mongoles y los turcos, que resultarían ser primos de japoneses y coreanos.

Listen in on many of the foreign policy discussions about Vietnam that take place at think tanks and government seminars in Washington, D.C., and you'll hear this sense of optimism that "Hanoi is on our side." They see Vietnam's historical suspicions of China and the country's ongoing territorial disputes in the South China Sea as key indicators that Hanoi will eventually join a U.S.-led coalition to counter China. Those presumptions, however, are wrong, according to Khang Vu, a leading Vietnamese political scientist and visiting scholar at Boston College.

The conversation emphasizes the need for multinational companies to reassess their supply chains and compliance strategies to mitigate potential risks associated with these tariffs. The episode underscores the importance of companies adapting to a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape to ensure compliance and maintain their business operations.

The AI race is on. America and China are fiercely competing to become the global leader in artificial intelligence by heavily investing in the power and data centers the technology demands. President Trump emphasized the urgency of surpassing China when he traveled to Pennsylvania last week to attend a summit where many companies pledged further investments in AI. Tristan Harris, Co-Founder of the Center for Humane Technology, joins the Rundown to discuss the race between the U.S. and China, how advancing AI models could impact American workers, and why he believes the industry must consider the potential dangers of this technology as it rapidly advances. As the 2026 Midterm Elections inch closer, Republicans hope to keep their slim majority in Congress. In the past, the party in power has sometimes resorted to redistricting, also known as gerrymandering, to benefit itself in the upcoming election. President Trump has recently expressed his support for redistricting in Texas. FOX News Pollster and Political Science Professor Daron Shaw joins the podcast to discuss whether the President's desire to create more GOP-friendly districts is a sign that the Midterm Elections won't go in favor of Republicans.  Plus, commentary from FOX News contributor and host of the podcast Kennedy Saves the World, Kennedy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

(I am sending this week's commentary early this week due to travel)Dear Chancellor,Me again.I am the author of Bitcoin: The Future of Money? (2014), generally agreed to the first book on bitcoin from a recognised publisher.I write with regard to the proposed sale of the UK's bitcoin. Since bitcoin was first introduced in 2009 - invented in reaction to the loose monetary policies of the Global Financial Crisis - bank bail outs, quantitative easing, zero interest policies etc - and the economic injustices they created, the protocol has grown from nothing to a market cap above $2 trillion. A whole new economy has emerged around the technology where none previously existed, providing countless opportunities for individuals, entrepreneurs and nations alike.Initially the domain of a few coders, it is now finding mass adoption at the corporate and even national level. The US is recognizing the digital asset's importance, as it introduces its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, while China, according to estimates, holds 190,000 coins.Initially, the UK was at the heart of the Bitcoin story. Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous inventor, wrote in British English, cited UK media, and many early meetups and conferences took place here. Chancellors George Osborne and Rishi Sunak both expressed their desire for the UK to become a global hub for this emerging technology. But the FCA took an opposing view and made it increasingly difficult for UK citizens to participate, so that we have now fallen behind.Opinion about bitcoin is divided. Those who use the technology regularly believe it is not just likely, but inevitable, that it will become the world's dominant monetary network. Many others – typically the older generation, economists or legacy finance – dismiss it as a bubble, often without having tested the tech in any meaningful way.Whichever side of the debate you fall on, the fact that Bitcoin has become the most desired digital asset in the world is indisputable.Among the many features that make bitcoin unique is that its supply is finite. With its estimated 61,000 confiscated bitcoins, the UK has been gifted an extraordinary opportunity. We now hold roughly 0.3% of total supply.I understand that politics demands a focus on the short term – the next Budget, the next election – but I urge you to approach your decision with long-term vision. Please consult with people who regularly use the technology. Do not make this decision based solely on advice from people who never use bitcoin. Take Bulgaria, for example. In 2017, it sold all of its seized bitcoin to cover a short-term budget gap. Those coins today would be worth enough to eliminate the country's entire national debt. From a strategic perspective, the UK's bitcoin holdings represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity. As fiat currencies decline in purchasing power and the global economy moves toward digital and AI-driven systems, this asset could help Britain re-establish itself as an economic superpower with significant geopolitical leverage and monetary independence.An opportunity of this kind is not to be thrown away lightly.Once those coins are sold, we will never be able to buy them back.If bitcoin becomes a hundred trillion dollar network – as some project – the UK's share could prove transformational. That may sound fanciful today, but every surprise in bitcoin's history has been to the upside.There is also your personal political legacy to consider.You would be the Chancellor who sold Britain's bitcoin.That will be how people remember you – just as Gordon Brown, for all else he did, is remembered primarily for needlessly selling Britain's gold at the bottom of the market. For the rest of your life, every timebBitcoin rises in price, people will look at what you sold our coins for and say: “This is how much she lost us.” You are consigning yourself to that fate.Do you want that to be your legacy?So once again, I implore you: take advice from people who understand this technology and its potential. Don't just listen to nocoiners.If you sell bitcoin for fiat you are swapping a superior asset for an inferior one. It is that simple.The trade might bring short-term benefit, but it does nothing to address the underlying structural issues facing this country. If, however, you hold on to the bitcoin – and understand how to integrate it into policy – perhaps create a UK Strategic Reserve - you may find it solves many of our problems.As bitcoiners often say, “bitcoin fixes this.”I hope you read and consider this letter with an open-mind.Yours sincerely,Dominic FrisbyAuthor of Bitcoin: The Future of Money?Writer of The Flying Frisby newsletterPS Please like, share - all that stuff.

Sam's Club, the membership-only retail chain owned by Walmart Inc, is under fire from Chinese consumers over its recent introduction of mass market snacks that critics claim fall short of the brand's promise of premium, carefully curated offerings.沃尔玛（Walmart Inc）旗下的会员制零售连锁店山姆会员店（Sam's Club）最近推出了大众市场小吃，批评者称其未能兑现该品牌对优质、精心策划产品的承诺，因此受到中国消费者的抨击。Since early July, online users on platforms like RedNote and Weibo have voiced concerns that Sam's Club is selling products such as Orion pies, Weilong Konjac delights and Panpan's walnut vanilla puffs—snacks commonly found in ordinary supermarkets—calling into question the company's quality control and product selection standards.自7月初以来，RedNote和微博等平台上的在线用户表达了对山姆会员店销售猎户座馅饼、卫龙魔芋和潘潘核桃香草泡芙等产品的担忧，这些产品在普通超市很常见，这让人们对该公司的质量控制和产品选择标准产生了质疑。A focal point of the criticism is a 48-pack of Orion pies, marketed at Sam's Club for 49.9 yuan as a low-sugar option with 30 percent more cocoa. However, consumers comparing its ingredient list to that of the regular version found no major improvements. Both versions still contain additives like shortening and acesulfame potassium, often criticized for potential health risks. In fact, the Sam's Club version was found to have a higher fat content than the standard product.批评的焦点是48包猎户座馅饼，在山姆俱乐部以49.9元（7美元）的价格出售，作为低糖选择，可可含量高出30%。然而，消费者将其成分清单与常规版本进行比较后发现没有重大改进。这两种版本仍然含有起酥油和安赛蜜钾等添加剂，这些添加剂经常因潜在的健康风险而受到批评。事实上，Sam's Club版本的脂肪含量高于标准产品。The backlash is further intensified by the shadow of a scandal from 2022. Orion came under fire in China for allegedly using a dual-standard ingredient list—one for consumers in its home country of South Korea and another, which contained ingredients including cocoa butter substitute containing trans fats, in the Chinese market.2022年丑闻的阴影进一步加剧了这种反弹。猎户座在中国因涉嫌使用双重标准成分清单而受到抨击，一份是针对其母国韩国的消费者，另一份是在中国市场上包含可可脂替代品（含反式脂肪）等成分。The uproar highlights a growing gap between Sam's Club's brand image and consumer expectations. The chain, which charges a 260 yuan annual membership fee, has long positioned itself as a purveyor of "globally sourced, high-quality products", emphasizing exclusivity and differentiated offerings.这场骚动突显出山姆会员店的品牌形象与消费者期望之间的差距越来越大。该连锁店每年收取260元的会员费，长期以来一直将自己定位为“全球采购的高质量产品”的供应商，强调排他性和差异化产品。Yet the introduction of mainstream brands like Orion and Panpan has sparked fears among loyal members that Sam's Club is veering toward homogenization, diluting its value proposition.然而，Orion和Panpan等主流品牌的推出引发了忠实会员的担忧，他们担心Sam's Club正在走向同质化，削弱了其价值主张。In response to China Daily queries, Walmart China stated: "We have noticed the discussions on social media regarding our product selection. As a membership-based retailer, we have always prioritized our members. We co-develop high-quality products with domestic and international suppliers and continuously improve based on member feedback. We take all member opinions seriously and will reflect them in future product strategies."在回应《中国日报》的询问时，沃尔玛中国表示：“我们注意到社交媒体上关于我们产品选择的讨论。作为一家会员制零售商，我们始终优先考虑我们的会员。我们与国内外供应商共同开发高质量的产品，并根据会员的反馈不断改进。我们认真对待所有会员的意见，并将在未来的产品战略中反映出来。”Despite the criticism, Sam's Club is expanding aggressively across China. From 2023 to 2024, the company opened 12 new stores, with plans to launch another eight in 2025.尽管受到批评，山姆俱乐部仍在中国各地积极扩张。从2023年到2024年，该公司开设了12家新店，并计划在2025年再开设8家。Walmart China, Sam's Club's parent company, continues to lead the nation's retail rankings. In 2024, it recorded sales of 158.8 billion yuan, topping the China Chain Store & Franchise Association's Top 100 list.山姆会员店的母公司沃尔玛中国继续领跑全国零售排名。2024年，其销售额达到1588亿元，位居中国连锁经营协会百强榜首。In the first quarter, Walmart China posted net sales of $6.7 billion, up 22.5 percent year-on-year. Sam's Club contributed significantly to this growth, with comparable sales rising 16.8 percent and e-commerce revenue jumping 34 percent. Seven new Sam's Club stores were added in the past 12 months, including one in the first quarter.第一季度，沃尔玛中国的净销售额为67亿美元，同比增长22.5%。山姆会员店对这一增长做出了重大贡献，可比销售额增长了16.8%，电子商务收入增长了34%。在过去的12个月里，山姆会员店增加了7家新店，其中包括第一季度的一家。Industry experts said the retailer's expansion strategy may be driving a shift toward greater localization, including the introduction of popular mass-market products, but this could come at a cost.行业专家表示，这家零售商的扩张战略可能正在推动向更大程度的本地化转变，包括推出受欢迎的大众市场产品，但这可能是有代价的。"On the surface, consumers are reacting to the perceived decline in product quality and the overlap with other supermarkets, which undermines the value of the membership fee," said Jason Yu, general manager of CTR Market Research.CTR市场研究总经理Jason Yu表示：“从表面上看，消费者对产品质量下降以及与其他超市的重叠做出了反应，这降低了会员费的价值。”。"But the deeper issue is the mismatch between member expectations and their actual experience. Product strength is Sam's Club's core competitive edge. If it loses that, especially on food safety and differentiation, it risks alienating its base."“但更深层次的问题是会员期望与实际体验之间的不匹配。产品实力是山姆会员店的核心竞争优势。如果它失去了这一点，特别是在食品安全和差异化方面，它就有可能疏远其基础。”Yu added that there is no fundamental issue with the Orion brand itself. "The key question is whether Sam's Club can deliver a distinct product experience. If it simply sells a 'me-too' product, it won't gain consumers' votes," he said.余补充说，猎户座品牌本身没有根本问题。他说：“关键问题是山姆会员店能否提供独特的产品体验。如果它只是销售一种‘我也是'的产品，它就不会获得消费者的选票。”。trans fatsn.反式脂肪酸/træns fæts/aggressivelyn.侵略地/əˈɡrɛsɪvli/homogenization /ˌhɒməˌdʒənaɪˈzeɪʃn/ 同质化 alienate /ˈeɪliəneɪt/ 疏远，使不友好

In the first half, I offer a (rather pessimistic) assessment of not just Trump's 50-day ultimatum but also recent EU and UK sanctions, before pivoting to explore how the US president has inadvertently made it clear that it is not him but China's Xi Jinping who has more influence with Putin.

As summer sets in, Cem Karsan joins Niels Kaastrup-Larsen to trace the contours of a market that feels calm but isn't. What looks like low vol masks a crowded hedge fund ecosystem and a structural vol compression regime few understand. From a VIX spike driven by unexpected Call activity to the slow-motion political pressure on Powell, the signals are subtle but mounting. They cover China's resource diplomacy, AI's quiet dislocation of white-collar work, and the rising fragility from concentration across assets, brokers, and narratives.

Dr. Kirk Moore, a physician who offered fake COVID-19 vaccine cards and saline shots for kids with parental consent, faced a 4-year legal battle against charges of vaccine fraud that carried a possible 35 years in prison. After a campaign by influencers and politicians, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the Trump DOJ was ordering that the case be dismissed, stating “Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing.” The dismissal ends the trial with prejudice, but the battle continues for Dr. Moore who is not permitted to pursue reimbursement of legal fees that reportedly exceed $750,000. Justice denied or justice applied? Martha Byrne fights her husband's spying conviction amid allegations of lawfare, and Shannon Joy amplifies liberty voices against tyranny.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Hostile Waters, a 1997 made-for-TV movie directed by David Drury and starring Rutger Hauer, Martin Sheen and Max von Sydow. Hostile Waters — based on a real-life incident, the loss of the Soviet Navy's K-219 — was a joint production of HBO and the BBC, released first in the United Kingdom and then the United States. It received good reviews from critics on both sides of the Atlantic. Hostile Waters takes place on October 1986, off the east coast of the United States. A Soviet ballistic missile submarine, the K‑219, collides with the American hunter-killer submarine USS Aurora. The impact ruptures a missile tube aboard the Soviet boat, triggering seawater to seep in—causing a violent chemical reaction, toxic gas buildup, and a fire that threatens the entire submarine and its nuclear warheads.You can find Hostile Waters to stream for free on YouTube, or you could rent it on Amazon Prime or Apple TV.In their next episode, Jamelle and John will watch the 1997 legal thriller Red Corner, directed by Jon Avnet and starring Richard Gere. Here is a brief plot synopsis:An American attorney on business in China, ends up wrongfully on trial for murder and his only key to innocence is a female defense lawyer from the country.And don't forget our Patreon! In our latest episode, we watched the 1983 film Danton, a dramatization of one of the most turbulent moments in the French Revolution. You can sign up for our Patreon at patreon.com/unclearpod.

Tim Marshall is one of the world's most successful authors on foreign affairs. He's the writer who put the ‘geo' into geopolitics with his multi-million selling books Prisoners of Geography and The Power of Geography.  Marshall's principal argument is that without geography we cannot understand the world. Geography explains why Donald Trump wants to control Greenland. Greenland is of strategic military importance given it sits in the Arctic Ocean along the shortest route for Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles or submarines to reach the United States. It is also a land mass rich in rare earth metals like lithium and tungsten which will be key in building artificial intelligence and military hardware in the coming years.  Geography also explains why China would find it highly difficult to invade Taiwan. The Taiwan Strait is about 130 km wide at its narrowest point, which is roughly three times the distance from Dover to Calais. Any invading force would face inhospitable coastlines, unpredictable monsoons and muddy, tidal beaches. Beijing might decide in time that these are risks worth taking. But these basic and immutable facts of natural terrain still matter hugely in international affairs.  Join Marshall as he comes to Intelligence Squared stage to celebrate the release of a new 10 year anniversary edition of Prisoners of Geography updated with new chapters on Russia's war in Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East and The United States and China's battle for global supremacy.  Learn more about your ad choices.
