Mike’s call for sanctions against the International Olympic Committee officials
complicit in Peng Shuai’s disappearance.

Bottom Line: “‘It's time to call the IOC out for their complete cowardice,”
Gallagher said. “They’re just allowing self-interest to dictate the terms of a
massive human rights violation here.”...The Wisconsin Republican argued that it
was no longer enough to call for an Olympic boycott or to even move the Games,
but said it was time to slap sanctions on IOC President Thomas Bach and any
other IOC official who has played a complacent role in Peng’s disappearance.”

Bottom Line: “Despite the growing bipartisan consensus on the need for
selective technological and financial decoupling from the CCP — and despite
dealing with a pandemic from Wuhan that exposed our dangerous dependency on
China — Wall Street cannot seem to get enough of the Chinese market.”

Bottom Line: “The Chinese government increasingly is using its economic weight
to reshape global behavior and strengthen its own authoritarianism. And
democratic governments have left companies to fend for themselves… Through
state-fanned patriotic boycotts, website shutdowns and other retaliatory
measures, the Chinese government pressures international firms and other
organizations to avoid statements or actions that cross Chinese Communist Party
red lines.

Bottom Line: “Ahead of the trip, Blinken spoke to his counterpart, Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, on Tuesday and reiterated calls for Moscow to
de-escalate tensions by reducing its military build-up along Ukraine’s border.
During the call, the two agreed to meet in Geneva on Friday.”

Bottom Line: “North Korea

suspected ballistic missiles into the sea in its fourth weapons launch this
month, the U.S. and its allies South Korea and Japan said, with the apparent
goal of demonstrating its military might amid paused diplomacy with the U.S.
and pandemic border closures.”
