Ok, boomer. For this week's Economist, I wrote about China's rare test of a submarine-launched ballistic missile over the Pacific. As China becomes bolder at displaying its nuclear capabilities, could a test of an air-launched ballistic missile be next? www.economist.com/china/2026/0...

Has China obtained the world's most important machine? No way, says it Dutch maker. For this week's Economist, I explored the US Commerce Secretary's claim that China might have got its hands on one of the machines that make the world's most advanced AI chips www.economist.com/china/2026/0...

For this week's Economist, I spoke to Cheng Li-wun, leader of Taiwan's opposition KMT party, about her US visit. She tells me that if Taiwan doesn't declare independence and China still wants to invade then "we will fight. We definitely will fight back." www.economist.com/asia/2026/06...

Don't mention the nukes: how Xi Jinping learned to live with the North Korean bomb. For this week's Economist, our East Asia buro chief Noah Sneider & I explore why Xi is visiting Pyongyang but not renewing pressure on Kim Jong Un to halt his atomic weapons program www.economist.com/china/2026/0...

A tale of two summits. My (updated) take on Trump's visit to Beijing. China has confirmed plans for Xi to visit the U.S. and for a joint "trade council" and "investment council". Otherwise, the two sides appear to be reading from rather different scripts. www.economist.com/china/2026/0...

What did Trump and Xi actually achieve?
