The recent strategic cooperation agreement between Chinese energy storage giant HyperStrong and Germany’s SMA Solar Technology represents far more than a standard commercial deal between two market leaders. Analyzed through the lens of economic intelligence, this agreement reveals itself as a sophisticated maneuver in geo-economic warfare and stands as one of the most emblematic case studies of the ongoing energy transition. The case demonstrates that global competition betwe

From the Indictment of Eileen Wang to Xi Jinping’s Doctrine: How Beijing Is Turning Local Politics into an Intelligence Weapon Current international events demonstrate that the penetration of People's Republic of China (PRC) structures into Western democracies is not a spontaneous phenomenon, but the result of long-term strategic planning. On May 11, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the federal indictment of Eileen Wang, Mayor of Arcadia, accused of acting as an

The upcoming summit scheduled for May 14–15, 2026, between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping in Beijing marks a critical turning point: the definitive shift from a trade dispute based on commodity flows to an unprecedented jurisdictional and regulatory conflict. At the core of the contention are no longer just trade balances, but the very sovereignty of the laws governing multinational companies operating across borders, in a context where China's strengthening

From the Hikvision sanctions to the Cybersecurity Label 2026: the end of technological neutrality The current international landscape is marked by an unprecedented convergence of national security and technology trade, with the United States and China adopting mirror-image strategies to fortify their digital ecosystems. What is emerging is what we might call the paradox of reciprocity: while Washington accuses Chinese companies of opacity and potential espionage, Beijing resp

MONETARY SUBJUGATION: THE PEOPLE’S BANK OF CHINA AS A WEAPON OF XI JINPING’S GREY ZONE STRATEGY The geoeconomic landscape of early 2026 confirms that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has succeeded in transforming its monetary policy from a macroeconomic tool into a fundamental pillar of “liminal warfare.” As detailed in the strategic report Europe Under Attack 2025, Beijing’s global strategy is based on occupying the “gray zone”: systematically operating below the thresho

THE INDUSTRIAL ANNIHILATION OF THE COSMOS: XI JINPING’S ASSEMBLY LINE AND THE WAR FOR ORBITAL MONOPOLY

China’s rise as a global maritime power is taking place against a backdrop of systemic competition among major powers, where technological dominance and access to deep-sea resources have become the cornerstones of national security and sustainable development. The picture emerging from recent analyses by the Chinese Academy of Sciences highlights an integrated strategy aimed at transforming industrial advantage into normative and geoeconomic hegemony, despite the persistence

The geopolitical landscape of 2026 is marked by the definitive transformation of genomic data and storage infrastructure—biobanks—from scientific resources into pillars of national security. China has led this radical shift with regulations that took effect on January 1, 2025, which supplement the PIPL (Personal Information Protection Law) and the Data Security Law. In this context, large-scale genomic data and biological samples stored in biobanks are classified as "Core Dat

The recent lawsuit filed by the State of Texas against the De'ai Postpartum Care Center is not merely the failure of a private enterprise or a simple case of immigration fraud; rather, it lifts the veil on a system of demographic and political engineering on a global scale. For nearly two decades, this facility has operated not as a clinic, but as a sophisticated entry point for a long-term strategy coordinated by Beijing. The lawsuit highlights how the concept of “birth tour

An analysis of the current military and intelligence landscape reveals that China is working to secure every scrap of Western technology that has emerged from the conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, with the aim of meticulously mapping the Pentagon’s vulnerabilities through rigorous technical intelligence (TECHINT) operations.

This analysis, based on the findings of the joint hearings of the Subcommittee on Border Security and Law Enforcement and the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security—held on April 21 at the U.S. House of Representatives—outlines a hybrid threat that extends beyond U.S. borders to affect the entire Western security architecture.

The global biotechnological landscape is undergoing a tectonic shift as China transitions from a manufacturing hub for generics into the world’s primary engine for therapeutic innovation. In the first quarter of 2026, licensing transactions for innovative drugs reached $60 billion, signaling an acceleration that challenges the historical leadership of the United States and Europe. This is no longer merely a commercial competition; it is what analysts define as the "New Great

This analysis examines the recent paradigm shift in cyber operations conducted by actors linked to the People’s Republic of China, with particular reference to the strategic use of large-scale covert networks composed of compromised devices. Evidence gathered by international security agencies, led by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre and its global partners, paints a picture in which the distinction between civilian and military infrastructure is becoming increasingly

The Consent Agreement signed on April 14-17, 2026, between the U.S. Department of State and General Electric (GE) is not merely a $36 million penalty, but a testament to a strategic vulnerability that granted China access to invaluable technological secrets. For years, GE was unwittingly transformed into a reservoir of technical information for the People’s Republic of China (PRC) due to internal controls that authorities described as “systematically deficient.” Inspecting Je

In the new world order, the concept of economic freedom has been profoundly redefined: a truly free market cannot exist without a secure economy. The United States and China have already internalized this dogma, moving toward a paradigm where national security is the fundamental prerequisite for any commercial move. While Washington protects its economic freedom through "de-risking" and the Inflation Reduction Act, and Beijing utilizes massive subsidies to dominate global val

The Japanese government has officially announced a national strategy to completely phase out Chinese technologies from the IT systems of all local governments by the summer of 2027. This initiative, coordinated by the Digital Agency and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications , aims to protect citizens’ sensitive data and the integrity of civil infrastructure from potential espionage or sabotage orchestrated by foreign actors through supply chain compromise. Gett

China’s presence in cyberspace is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, shifting from a fragmented defensive posture to a model of proactive, centralized surveillance. At the heart of this strategy lies the imperative need to dominate so-called “liminal power”—that is, the ability to act and monitor the digital gray zones where the distinction between civil, military, and criminal threats blurs. Beijing has identified its historical weakness in monitoring the Dark Web a

The illusion of the invulnerability of fiber-optic communication systems has been officially shattered by groundbreaking research conducted by researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The study, presented at the NDSS 2026 symposium, reveals how the global telecommunications infrastructure can be transformed into a widespread network of clandestine microphones through the exploitation of acoustic side channels. This threat
