This week on China Watch, America aches for its manhood measuring moment in Asia; but will China oblige? Pacific Command’s Admiral Harry Harris is promising big doings in the Indo-Pacific—you know, that region that isn’t supposed to have China in it—in 2018. Will the Chinese rise to Admiral Harris’s bait prematurely…or will the PRC continues to dodge direct confrontation until it has built its way to military dominance?
Pushback against Chinese influence throws a revealing light on the American national security state’s latest outpost: the University of Texas! And China Watch reveals its invincible magic weapon against the PRC and the Chinese Communist Party. A secret available only to viewers who subscribe to Newsbud and join the best and best informed community of free thinkers on the Internet.

New Defense Department strategy elevates threats from Russia, China over terrorism
Managing Asia’s Security Threats in the Trump Era Michael Swaine, now with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, is perhaps the highest-profile figure in the shrinking coterie of China specialists who are “engagement-minded” i.e. haven’t bought into the idea that the solution to America’s Asian headaches is a systemic clash between the PRC and the United States. Swaine’s detailed, cautious and critical discussion of the “Taiwan card” is an indirect indication that the China hawks who have the upper hand in US China policy right now hope to play the “Taiwan card” in a major way.

Raisina 2018 Dialog: Quad Naval Chiefs Have All Eyes on China
Witch Hunt in Oz! My China Watch episode from June 2017 concerning the conundrum Australian National University faced in choosing between Chinese money and partnership with government security services. The parallels with the University of Texas case are striking and perhaps not coincidental, considering that ex-DNI James Clapper became a visiting scholar at ANU—just like ex-CIA Director John Brennan is going to be a visiting scholar at UT-Austin! Hands across the Pacific!
Fall 2017 Letter from ISP Director Steve Slick “We have reached an agreement with the CIA to participate in the Agency’s Visiting Intelligence Officer Program. The Agency will assign a Resident Intelligence Officer on a full-time basis to the LBJ School faculty to teach, conduct research, and counsel students interested in national security careers.” Call it the “Spookiversity of Texas at Austin”.
