THAT’S WHAT XI SAID: Daryl Morey stepping down as Houston Rockets GM, sources say. “Under Morey, the Rockets have the league’s longest consecutive playoff appearance streak with eight — advancing in the Western Conference playoffs in each of the past four years. Nevertheless, his final season on the job became engulfed in scrutiny after a tweet supporting freedom in Hong Kong led to China pulling the NBA off its airwaves and suspending sponsorship agreements with the league. China returned the NBA to its airwaves for the first time during the NBA Finals.”

HUAWEI AND THE CCP’S WAR FOR INFORMATION DOMINANCE: The Huawei 5G confrontation is one very important battle in a long-term strategic struggle — the slow systemic war being fought by Communist China and the U.S.

Some 30 years ago, the Chinese Communist Party and its intelligence agencies bet digital-information delivery dominance would be a decisive advantage in a long-term struggle for global dominance. I emphasize delivery, for dominating the material and physical (equipment and infrastructure) means for delivering digital information gives the dominator an edge in providing, denying or subverting content — be it news, opinion or entertainment. Control the system, or be able to easily penetrate, manipulate or corrupt it, and you can secretly collect data on users, spy on users and, if you happen to be a CCP totalitarian, engage in intimate, personal blackmail in order to advance other political and economic schemes.

The HIMARS is a truck-mounted system, which is lighter and much easier to move by air. Smart rockets are definitely in demand again.
