Midterms really good news re: resilience of 🇺🇸democracy. But it would be foolish for Germans and Europeans to believe this will help centrists in 🇩🇪🇫🇷etc or that we can further slow down investing in ability to defend ourselves without 🇺🇸.

My take for @StevenErlanger @nytimes

There could be no better guide to the new India-EU dynamic than Raja Mohan.
Had the chance to read the final draft and cannot recommend it more highly.

The fallacies and delusions of Jensen Huang‘s stance in Chinese party state neatly summarized in his own words.

Bloomberg Verified account @business 10h

In an interview filmed less than a month ago, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang defended engaging with China and criticized US chip restrictions. He has since acknowledged having an affair, and US intelligence officials reportedly suspect the woman was recruited by Beijing to influence him. Nvidia’s board is now investigating, and Huang said he would "cooperate fully."

He spoke with Bloomberg’s @EmilyChangTV for an upcoming episode of The Circuit bloom.bg/4sLchua

Human Rights Watch Verified account @hrw 4d

Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong has been sentenced to 10 years in prison on baseless national security charges.

Wong has been in custody since November 2020, when he was 23, and faces imprisonment until late 2036, when he will be 40.

To keep Hong Kong society subdued, the government appears to have adopted the tactic of stacking charges against influential pro-democracy leaders to ensure their prolonged detention.
