ASPI chief to depart amid LaborChina policy tensions

ASPI executive director Justin Bassi will not seek a second term and will leave in 2027 after public clashes with the Albanese government over China policy. Labor critics say ASPI is hawkish and undermines efforts to stabilise Australia’s relationship with China, a view echoed by a 2024 Labor-commissioned review that recommended partisan input on ASPI’s board. Bassi condemned that review as interference on ASPI’s independence. With his departure, council chair Gai Brodtmann also left earlier this year, and former Labor senator David Feeney—appointed to ASPI’s board in 2025—has become acting chair, praising Bassi’s reforms as succession planning continues.

"High-Level Meeting: Chip Companies and US Officials Discuss China Policy"

U.S. chip company executives are meeting with Biden administration officials to discuss China policy, as the semiconductor lobby group urges a halt to more restrictions on chip exports to China. The chip industry is concerned about protecting its profits in China, which accounted for over a third of worldwide semiconductor purchases last year. The Biden administration is considering updating rules to hobble China's chip industry and restrict outbound investment. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has called on the administration to refrain from further restrictions and allow continued access to the Chinese market. Intel, Qualcomm, and Nvidia are among the companies participating in the meetings.
