Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is rolling out a new standard for Indo-Pacific allies as China remains at the center of U.S. security concerns. On America’s China policy, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is delivering a blunt message. “The truth is that for too long America had been asleep. ... But America has awakened,” he said. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon is also stepping into the geopolitical debate, speaking plainly about the United States having “the strongest military in the world.” A rally outside the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., is calling for human rights in China. More than a dozen Falun Gong practitioners were arrested in Wuhan on the same day. A daughter and a sister are speaking out. Two U.S. allies—the Philippines and Japan—are deepening defense ties as tensions with Beijing grow in the region. A high-profile visit to the United States is raising tensions between Taiwan and China, with possible implications for U.S.–Taiwan relations.
