Stevenson’s army, February 17

But first, George Washington, on this day celebrating his birth (but on a Monday to be convenient)

U.S. Senate Standing Order 65 requires the reading of the Farewell Address on this day. You can read it here. GW took suggestions from Hamilton and Madison for it.
Dan Drezner says China dominated discussion at the Munich Security Conference. He suggests China is the new USSR, an adversary to rally the North Atlantic community.
WSJ says new US rule may limit Chinese access to chip-making technology

NYT says tech companies are fighting back..
NYT also has revealing story of life under the quarantines.
