While this article is from #ASPI ( a well known conservative and neoliberal platform) the contrast couldn't be starker - here Meg Tapia has a review in support of an economics paper that slams #GenAISlop from woe to go.
"That gut feeling – what participants described as being overwhelmed by information volume, an inability to distinguish truth from falsehood, and a sense of algorithmic manipulation – now has economic proof."

A new report by ASPI about why Taiwan matters to Australia and the world
"Taiwan is not a peripheral issue. It sits at the intersection of global trade, advanced technology, democratic values and regional security. What happens there will shape Australia’s prosperity, security and way of life for decades."

There has been an almost complete cessation of PLA air activity in the Taiwan Strait over the past ten days. The reasons for this are unclear
"Ultimately, the temporary absence of PLA aircraft should not be interpreted as a reduction in Beijing’s pressure on Taiwan. It is more likely a short-term anomaly within a broader pattern of sustained coercion."

Beijing's attempts to coerce Japan over Taiwan has "demonstrated the diminishing returns of coercion against politically confident middle powers."
"By dramatically escalating public criticism against Japan in a single year, Beijing has elevated Tokyo’s prominence in Taiwan-related security debates rather than diminishing it."

The Chinese party-state is intensifying its lawfare campaign. The number of Taiwanese nationals arrested and detained in China has increased while there has also been an increase in transnational repression

Australian Strategic Policy Institute research reveals how Chinese vision-language models systematically embed political censorship across multiple architectural layers. Testing of Qwen, Ernie, GLM, and DeepSeek shows 70%+ refusal rates for sensitive topics via certain providers, with language-dependent filtering that reshapes historical narratives.

New ASPI report: How China’s new AI systems are reshaping human rights
"This report reveals new ways that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using large language models (LLMs) and other AI systems to automate censorship, enhance surveillance and pre‑emptively suppress dissent."

New report from ASPI - "Australian public and institutional responses to Taiwan Strait crises"
"Australian public understanding of Taiwan’s strategic importance remains limited and fragmented, with media coverage often lacking depth and being reactive rather than proactive. This creates challenges for mobilising national support and preparing for contingencies."

Scamland Myanamar: How Conflict and Crime Syndicates Built A Global Fraud Industry
Wild, wild stuff.
Scams at industrial scale - whole newly built compounds devoted to using enslaved trafficked workers.
Footprint of the new compounds is expanding at some 13.5 acres a month.
An area containing some scam centres was captured by anti-government forces.
And some 40,000 enslaved workers returned to China.

@nulleric well, I just had a quick google search and I found #Adaptec documentation for #ASPI.
So I'm wondering if I could interface that using #OpenWatcom and a simple text UI...
I've never done low level #SCSI programming, but I should have an Adaptec card somewhere and I could rip out my #BlueSCSI out of my mac...
Should be an interesting little project,, but I don't know when I might find some time for that... -

The final part of ASPI's series wargaming scenarios in a China-Taiwan conflict
Most importantly, the conclusion suggests how Taiwan's partners can prevent these scenarios

The Taiwan scenarios 3: Day zero
"Each of China’s four main options to force unification carries a different tempo, level of visibility and escalation risk. But a common thread of Taiwanese response runs through all four: tailored resilience, surprising readiness and firm refusal to surrender."
https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/the-taiwan-scenarios-3-day-zero/
-
Warning signs that China would be seeking to escalate its actions against Taiwan
"In all scenarios, the opening signs will likely include new rhetoric, possibly portraying Taiwan as having crossed a red line. A spike in cyberattacks and information operations, including information operations within China, designed to project and amplify those claims, would also be a likely sign common to all scenarios."

China's blacklist of Taiwanese political leaders is a sign of the intensification of its lawfare campaign targeting Taiwan's democracy
"This hotline is a sign that Beijing is attempting to weaponise legal intimidation at scale."

The latest edition of ASPI's State of the Strait tracking China's campaign of coercion against Taiwan
"As Taipei reinforces its defences against Beijing’s overt and covert pressure, China shows no sign of relenting—relying both on symbolic punishments and effective grey-zone tactics to sustain its campaign of coercion."

The big news this week is former Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen's visit to Europe. It's a good opportunity for Taiwan to promote counter-narratives of democracy and international cooperation

Surprise, surprise! there is now a mature voice writing about strategic issues from an Australian perspective (no, not #aspi )

@davidonformosa Also worth noting that #ASPI themselves are facing significant budget cuts in #Australia. 🤦♂️️
For now they're probably the most well-informed organization in the world to shine light on China's global influence operations.
The Chinese regime would naturally like to see them disbanded altogether.

Some China-related NGOs face imminent closure as a result of the freezing of USAID funds
"In many cases, these organisations provide our last window into what is actually happening in China. They do the painstaking and often personally risky work of tracking Chinese media censorship, tallying local protests, uncovering human rights violations, documenting the Uyghur genocide, and supporting what remains of civil society in China."

Guten Morgen, beste Timeline der Welt!
Umzug ist geschafft. Nun noch einrichten, Ihr wisst schon, dies das.
Das Ganze macht bei mir ganz schön Veranstaltung im Kopf, mehr als gedacht. Mir als #Aspi fällt so etwas unglaublich schwer.
Dafür habe ich aber Frau Lùmmel und die Hunde, Kontinuität ist extrem wichtig.
Internetanschluss gibt es erst näxte Woche, Mobilfunk ist auch scheiße, deshalb seht es mir nach, wenn ich mich noch weniger zu Wort melde, als ohnehin schon 😁
Habt einen netten Tag mit vielen kleinen Mirakeln und bitte bleibt/ werdet gesund! -
Recommended read on Chinese Communist Partys global influence operations. The CCP does *not* want you know learn about this.
Remember the line about "China's peaceful rise" that foreign leaders swallowed along with hook and sinker? Read on...
“Most national security analysts in the United States will tell you that China presents a unique challenge to the U.S.-based order. What U.S. officials refer to as the “scope and scale” of the threat from Beijing outstrips that posed by other Western adversaries, even Russia, these officials say.
Yet the structure of China's intelligence apparatus remains relatively opaque. During the Cold War, the U.S. and its allies developed a granular understanding of the KGB, the Soviet Union’s main civilian intelligence agency, and the GRU, its military counterpart. It’s not that the CIA or the wider U.S. intelligence community had perfect insight into its main rival — far from it. But U.S. officials did have a clear sense of how the KGB functioned.
Not so with China, which remained cut off from the outside world for decades, and whose security services evolved in an isolated ideological hothouse. As China shed its isolationism and emerged as a world power, its intelligence operatives also fanned out across the globe.
But Western intelligence analysts were still looking through a glass, darkly, when it came to Beijing’s espionage abroad. That’s a gap that Alex Joske’s important new book, Spies and Lies: How China's Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the World, tries to fill. Joske, a former analyst with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, traces the evolution of the Ministry of State Security (MSS), China’s premier civilian intelligence agency, focusing on the MSS’s ubiquitous — and largely unknown— role in directing and executing Beijing’s influence operations abroad.”

@fergusryan 📜☝️ Latest #ASPI report on online mischief: ☭🇨🇳
「How were we able to confidently predict this? Because back in 2018, ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming stated on the record that he would ensure his products served to promote the CCP’s propaganda agenda. In fact, as we noted in our 2020 report, ByteDance works closely with PRC public security bureaus to not just disseminate that propaganda, but to actually produce it in the first place.」
