Beijing Pursuing ‘Offensive Decoupling’ Against West: Former Senior Official
While the Trump administration drew fire for propelling economic decoupling with the Chinese regime, it is in fact Beijing that is pursuing a campaign of “offensive decoupling” against the world, according to former deputy national security advisor Matthew Pottinger.
“Beijing intends to decrease China’s dependency on the world while making the world increasingly dependent on China and then use the resulting leverage to advance Beijing’s authoritarian political aims around the globe,” Pottinger, who served under the Trump administration, said at an April 15 hearing of U.S. Congress’s U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.

UPS Airlines pilots are testing themselves for COVID midflight, using a novel rapid antigen device that has yet to be approved by the U.S., and sending the results ahead to Hong Kong in an effort to avoid lengthy government quarantines on arrival, FreightWaves has learned.

The express carrier is participating in a trial of the Covi-Stix detection kit manufactured by Sorrento Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRNE) to support Food and Drug Administration authorization and prevent pilots flying from the company’s Anchorage hub from being isolated against their will in Hong Kong, according to an internal email shared with FreightWaves.
