US backs Congo cobalt-copper mines to counter China's rare-earth edge

The U.S. backs Virtus Minerals to develop Chemaf’s Étoile and Mutoshi cobalt and copper mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo—the first U.S.-owned operator there in over a decade—aiming for about 75,000 tonnes of copper and 20,000 tonnes of cobalt a year, exported via the Lobito Corridor to Angola with a $5 billion rail investment; officials call it a flagship investment to diversify critical mineral supply chains and counter China’s dominance in Africa.

FDA launches pilot to speed up early drug trials and bolster U.S. competitiveness

The FDA announced a pilot to accelerate early-stage clinical trials, aiming to cut development time by six to 12 months, boost U.S.-based trials, and counter China, while seeking congressional support to establish a permanent, faster Investigational New Drug pathway in the 2027 budget; the effort follows advocacy by former FDA Commissioner Marty Makary.

Toward AI Détente: Curbing the Unregulated Global Race

A Hoover Institution working paper argues that AI is racing ahead in two largely unregulated fronts—the private sector and the US–China geopolitical rivalry—leaving no binding arms-control framework. With little regulatory progress from the U.S. government and no sign of international AI arms deals, the piece warns of unemployment and other unintended consequences from unrestrained competition and urges a rapid détente to curb breakneck AI development and curb harmful corporate behavior by leading firms.

OpenAI Proposes US-Led AI Alliance to Counter China

OpenAI is set to present a comprehensive plan for U.S. AI infrastructure, proposing AI economic zones, leveraging the U.S. Navy's nuclear expertise, and forming a North American AI alliance to compete with China. The blueprint envisions significant investments in AI, including new energy projects and data centers, particularly in the Midwest and Southwest, to boost job creation and GDP growth. OpenAI aims to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration, despite its plans to repeal Biden's AI executive order, to ensure the U.S. maintains its lead over China in AI development.

"Rising US-China Competition in Military Drone Swarms Sparks Global Arms Race"

The US and China are in an intense competition to develop swarming drones equipped with artificial intelligence, raising concerns about a global arms race. Both countries are pushing for the urgent development of these drones, with the Pentagon seeking bids for unmanned maritime interceptors and China claiming advancements in swarm technology. The unchecked spread of this technology could lead to instability and conflict worldwide, and efforts to set limits on military uses of drone swarms have been challenging. The competition between the two superpowers is not likely to build trust or reduce the risk of conflict, and there are concerns about the potential spread of this technology to other countries.
