RT by @CNASdc: CAISI has reportedly been directed to stop publishing public model assessments as the new AI EO gets implemented. Natsec engagement on AI is essential.

Evidence suggests that AI development in China is dependent on a large-scale, sophisticated campaign of adversarial distillation—extracting the outputs of U.S. models to use in model training. A recent paper by @danielremler and @BenHayum lays out the national security implications of this threat and what an effective policy response could look like.

RT by @CNASdc: Xi Jinping is in North Korea for the first time in seven years. His visit illustrates the Axis of Upheaval in action: 1. Of Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea, none has used its leverage as effectively as Kim Jong Un in recent years. Pyongyang had what Moscow wanted - troops and weapons for Ukraine - at a moment when Russia was in dire need. 2. But North Koreans don’t work on spec. Russia in return gave Pyongyang food, oil and military technology, and showered it with diplomatic attention. Putin visited the North in 2024 for the first time in 24 years. The two signed a mutual defense agreement. 3. Suddenly the Hermit Kingdom was not so isolated anymore. Long gone are the days when Beijing and Moscow at least nominally joined the U.S. in pressing the North to denuclearize. And Pyongyang has spent the past few years building up its own arsenal, including missiles, drones, and submarines. 4. For Beijing, Pyongyang was for many years like the embarrassing uncle who spoils Thanksgiving dinner: a part of the family, worthy of support, but volatile and hard to control. Now, emboldened by friendship with Russia, some economic improvement, and its own military advances, Kim has options. 5. Enter Xi Jinping. China’s only formal defense pact is with North Korea, which has long been dependent on China as an economic lifeline. Moscow and Beijing are cooperating more closely than ever, but Beijing is not about to let the North fall entirely into Russia’s orbit. 6. We will see what Beijing hands out during Xi’s visit. But it’s clear already that the internal dynamics of the Axis of Upheaval - including competition with each other - have yielded benefits for its poorest and most isolated member. 7. All this means that denuclearization, which was never a terribly realistic objective, is more remote than ever. The North has two major power defenders and Kim recently said that U.S. attacks on other countries - think Venezuela and Iran - vindicate its nuclear decision making. Pyongyang now rejects talks with Washington rather than the other way around. 8. North Korea has emerged stronger, emboldened, and more dangerous than when it was merely a China-dependent pariah. The U.S. will need to continue its deterrence and containment approach. But there is one wild card. 9. That is a possible return to provocative nuclear and missile tests. The North has traditionally used these to extract goodies from the U.S. and the international community. Is Pyongyang now sufficiently content with its economic and geopolitical trajectory to refrain from rocking the boat?  10. Probably not over the long run. And so another round of crisis diplomacy may be in the offing in the months ahead.

RT by @CNASdc: With the Iran war stalemated, the Ukraine war is shifting significantly in ways that could bring peace - but that more likely mean escalation: 1. For the first time in almost three years, Russia is losing more territory than it’s gaining. The battlefield momentum is shifting toward Ukraine. 2. Russia has now been at this longer than it fought World War II. 500,000 Russian soldiers dead, huge economic costs, and international isolation that has forced Moscow into partnership with the likes of North Korea. And all to subdue a Ukraine that wasn’t threatening Russia in the first place. 3. Ukraine’s military position is strengthening, thanks both to new European aid and a domestic defense industry that is cranking out drones and missiles. Kyiv can strike deep into Russia and is doing so. Russian forces, meanwhile,  are hampered by the loss of Starlink in February. 4. After years of enormous losses, Russia may finally be facing real manpower shortages. Its losses appear to exceed replacement rates and reports suggest Moscow is conscripting Ukrainians in occupied areas into the fight. 5. Both sides seem to have given up on the United States as a determinative force. Zelensky looks to Europe for far more assistance than America provides. Putin bet on Trump forcing Ukraine into a deal that never arrived. The administration itself seems tired of brokering peace where none is to be had. 6. The war has cost Russia’s global profile dearly. Moscow stood by as former client regimes in Syria and Venezuela were swept away, and as Iran came under massive attack. It played no meaningful role in Armenia-Azerbaijan talks. It is clearly the junior partner to China, with only its nukes helping it cling to great power status. 7. With the costs so high and the gains minimal at best, Putin will now look for peace, right? Unfortunately, no. When Russians can’t solve a problem they tend to enlarge it. That means escalation. 8. I’m just back from Europe and policymakers there are bracing for it. We’ve already seen a major increase in bombs landing on Kyiv. Projectiles have hit Romania. Russian nuclear forces on drill. Russian satellites maneuvering in a way that could expand the war to outer space. 9. The U.S. should bolster deterrence. Leave no doubt about U.S. commitment to defend every inch of NATO territory. Impose costs on Russia for gray zone activity in Europe. And it’d be nice to start aiding Ukraine again. The war is terrible. Its expansion to NATO soil would be worse still. 10. The upshot is that, for all the change of battlefield momentum, there is much more fighting ahead, and probably into 2027. The U.S. is no neutral arbiter in this war. It should help Ukraine survive until the end, and to prevail.
