China's Global Sharp Power Weekly Alert: Issue 27 - 2026
This weekly alert from the Hoover Institution reports on multiple developments concerning China's global influence. It highlights that more Americans are being taken prisoner in the PRC as Beijing extends transnational repression against critics, citing cases of researcher Min Zin and seismologist Youlin Chen. New satellite imagery reveals the PRC military constructing targets of US warships and facilities on missile test ranges. Commentators in Foreign Affairs and Handelsblatt observe that PRC actions domestically and globally are undermining the country's own future. The issue also features an interview between Ezra Klein and former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who discusses Xi Jinping's leadership style, China's trajectory, and implications for the US and world.
