Laki ng tampuhan ng China at US... Zero communication. Biden will be the only US president who hasn't visited China while in office.

China is ghosting the United States - POLITICO

Secretary of State Antony Blinken wants to reschedule his date with China. Beijing is giving him the cold shoulder.

The Biden administration called off Blinken’s planned trip to Beijing in February after a Chinese spy balloon traversed U.S. skies, but has since been trying to restart high-level talks. That includes rescheduling the Blinken visit, and setting up other trips by top U.S. officials and a phone call between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, a current U.S. official and a former State Department official said.

Beijing’s current aversion to sustained high-level engagement underscores the particularly fraught nature of U.S.-Chinese relations over the past few months. What was a two-sided desire to stabilize an increasingly volatile relationship is becoming much more about Washington reaching out and the Chinese government demurring.

Beijing is increasingly resentful about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and official contacts that China says encourage Taiwan’s pro-independence elements.

Some U.S. officials worry Beijing’s thin-skinned diplomacy is hampering crucial communication between the rivals in a way that could have global fallout in a major crisis.

Why worry about China spying when Americans are spying on their own allies...

Leaked Pentagon Docs Put U.S.-South Korea Alliance in Spotlight | Time

In 2013, it was revealed that the NSA and CIA had been tapping Germany’s then-Chancellor Angela Merkel’s phone for years. As more reports of U.S. prying into the German government emerged months later, an American intelligence official was even asked to leave the embassy in Berlin over allegations of spying, with Merkel herself describing the situation as a “clear contradiction to trusting cooperation.”

And Germany isn’t the only ally that’s felt aggrieved: the French government was outraged in 2015 after news broke that the U.S. had been spying on then President François Hollande and his predecessors. Hollande called his American counterpart Barack Obama and said he received an assurance that Washington would limit its “unacceptable” spying “among allies.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, that habit hasn’t stopped. In recent weeks, a scattering of allegedly leaked Pentagon documents, some purportedly only meant to be accessible to those with high U.S. security clearance, were posted across social platforms like Discord, Telegram, and Twitter. TIME could not independently verify how authentic the documents were, but they reportedly included information on U.S. assessments of the war in Ukraine as well as intelligence on diplomatic allies.

At least two of the documents, the Korea Herald reports, detailed internal discussions among South Korea’s officials concerning the U.S. pressuring the East Asian nation to help supply weapons to Ukraine amid Seoul’s hesitancy. The information was reportedly based in part on intercepted communication signals.

Yoon's office to request 'appropriate measures' from US over spying fiasco

One of the leaked classified US documents, the authenticity of which has not yet been verified, showed details of private conversations between two top South Korean officials about the US push for Seoul to supply lethal weapons to Ukraine.

In a joint statement, Democratic Party of Korea lawmakers on the National Assembly’s national defense and foreign affairs committees characterized the alleged spying as a "US violation of South Korea’s national sovereignty” and “illegal espionage activities.”

“It is regrettable that before the head of state's visit to the US, such an event has transpired,” said Democratic Party Rep. Kim Byung-joo in a press conference.

“We strongly urge that the presidential office take steps to ensure there is no recurrence,” he said, calling Yoon’s official response to the leak “lenient.”

“I don’t know what he is afraid of, but the presidential office ought to be asking for an apology.”

Democratic Party Rep. Kim Eui-kyeom, who was previously spokesperson for the Moon Jae-in presidential office, argued that based on what is revealed so far he believed it was a “very intentional and premeditated act of eavesdropping.”

“I don’t think it was the phones that were being wiretapped. I think it was somewhere in the presidential office, some conference room perhaps, that had been accessed,” he said in the same press conference.

Leaked Pentagon Docs Put U.S.-South Korea Alliance in Spotlight | Time

I'd be surprised if they weren't spying on their allies. "Trust but verify".

10 years ago when Snowden exposed the NSA France's head of intelligence outright called out their own politicians:

“I am amazed by such disconcerting naiveté,” he said in the interview. “You’d almost think our politicians don’t bother to read the reports they get from the intelligence services.”

Israel Denies Leaked Claim That Mossad Encouraged Protest - The New York Times

Senior U.S. officials said the F.B.I. was working to determine the source of the leaked documents. The officials acknowledged that the documents appeared to be legitimate intelligence and operational briefs compiled by the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, using reports from the government’s intelligence community, but that at least one had been modified from the original at some later point.

The apparent authenticity of the documents, however, is not an indication of their accuracy.

Israel, which returned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to power in December as the head of the most far-right government coalition in its history, was paralyzed by protests and strikes in March after the government revealed plans to overhaul the country’s judiciary. The proposed changes, which were criticized by Israel’s closest ally, the United States, aim to curb judicial review of legislation and give the government more control in the selection of judges.

According to the leaked documents, an assessment attributed to a Central Intelligence Update from March 1, leaders of the Mossad “advocated for Mossad officials and Israeli citizens to protest against the new Israeli Government’s proposed judicial reforms, including several explicit calls to action that decried the Israeli Government.”

Pentagon leaks linked to young gun enthusiast who worked at military base – report

The man responsible for the leak of hundreds of classified Pentagon documents is reported to be a young, racist gun enthusiast who worked on a military base, and who was seeking to impress two dozen fellow members of an internet chat group.

The Washington Post interviewed a teenage member of the group, who described the man, referred to by the initials “OG”, from their online correspondence, and shared photographs and videos. The Post also viewed a video of a man identified as OG at a shooting range with a large rifle.

“He yells a series of racial and antisemitic slurs into the camera, then fires several rounds at a target,” the report said. OG told fellow members of the same internet group that he worked on a military base, which was not named in the report, where his job involved viewing large amounts of classified information.

Leaked Pentagon documents: Air National Guardsman to be charged | AP News

Teixeira was a “cyber transport systems specialist,” essentially an IT specialist responsible for military communications networks, including their cabling and hubs. In that role Teixeira would have had a higher level of security clearance because he would have also been tasked with responsibility for ensuring protection for the networks, a defense official told the Associated Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
