Stevenson’s army, June 20

-WaPo summarizes the Blinken visit. Note what he said to the news media, echoing the traditional US position on Taiwan.

-A CFR panel has its report on Taiwan policy.

– New reports say China and Cuba are negotiating a military base.

– FT says the Chinese exam for college is full of XI ideas.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I republish here, with occasional videos of my choice. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
