Even if a story is true, it is still in all likelihood at least a partial misinfo campaign. Either someone aims to benefit from the whole lie, the partial lie, or that one sentence that puts the intended idea in people's heads. It is such a common thing that it doesn't even matter who did it anymore: Cui bono is uninteresting in a world where everything is a commodity.
All that matters is capability.
I err on the side of zooming out, any individual story is like looking at a mountain through a microscope.
In this particular op for example, maybe the goal isn't to get Jensen out, or even anti-Jensen or anti-China.
On a longer time horizon it could be a canary operation, feed bad info to a suspected leaker, or sniff out the operatives on the nvidia board.
I find Bessent throwing Lutnick under the bus an interesting plot twist. Is he the next Susie Wiles? Or is his and Jensen testifying before congress a way to get something else on record?
Is this a narrative setup to ban chip exports completely?
So many possible, larger outcomes, than what's in the Overton Window today. What is the Overton Window many months from now that this enables?
I was wondering how much of a spy she was.
In some sense, almost every Chinese person who travels abroad for an extensive period is a spy, because they will often be questioned upon their return home.
That doesn’t mean they are going out of their way to obtain information or even that they’re particularly forthcoming about what they happened to learn.
That part is obviously a red-herring and was from the jump, even before Sacks posts... even before affairs 2 and 3 were reported the finger was at the apparatus for allowing the sale. Pointing at Lutnick specifically is further down the funnel.
There's been no allegation of illegality whatsover for Jensen, this op has very carefully thread the needle to avoid libel.
