  "textContent": "It is another quiet day, and Xi is now out of sight for nine days. The Lao General Secretary is now in Beijing so I assume they will meet Friday. Rumors that Xi is going to North Korea continue, but now I am hearing his trip may have been delayed. We will know when we know… Earlier today I published this week’s episode of Sharp China. It is our mponthly free episode, so if you like it please share with friends and colleagues. From the show notes for Seizing the Commanding Heights; Decoding Shangri-La Dialogue; Europe Moots Trade Policy; The PRC Expels a New York Times Journalist: On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with Xi Jinping's call to seize the commanding heights of science, technology, and industry across six industries of the future, as well as the State Council's move to release a 34-article law that will implicate domestic firms, foreign businesses and potentially foreign governments, as well as PRC financial institutions and individual investors. From there: Reactions to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's remarks at the 2026 Shangri-La Dialogue, why an absence of Taiwan mentions in his main speech is not necessarily seen in Beijing as a shift in policy, and questions regarding U.S. partnerships elsewhere in the region. At the end: The looming trade tensions between Europe and China, the expulsion of New York Times journalist Vivian Wang, the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacres, and Steph Curry's new endorsement deal with Li-Ning.",
