That rhetoric sounds great. Unfortunately, it is just rhetoric. The reality is that without appropriate protection of technological advance, these investments risk ceding competitiveness to Beijing. The U.S. foreign investment review process—overseen by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)—is allowing Beijing-linked entities access to potentially game-changing semiconductor innovation. The latest example: at the end of August, just two weeks after the CHIPS Act became law, Chinese-funded AlphaWave IP Group announced that its planned acquisition of California-based OpenFive had been approved by all regulators, including CFIUS....

The Boys is a very popular live-action television series that offers social commentary on contemporary society and parodies superhero comic book characters. The main seven original characters of The Boys were clear comedic spins on the seven members of DC Comics’ Justice League team. The show isn’t afraid to pull punches and people often die in quick, brutal, or even unexpected ways. If superheroes were to exist today, the show argues that they wouldn’t be as clear-cut as they are in the comics or movies and many viewers agree with this point of view, which makes The Boys compelling because it holds a mirror up to modern society....

The current of unhappiness ran far deeper than the normal ebb and flow of partisan feeling in an election year; it challenged the settled order of our politics and the inflated expectations it had encouraged in us. The engines of economic growth, overheated in the ’80s, had stopped turning. The institutions of self-government seemed too corroded by money, vanity and cynicism to do anything about it. The optimism once regarded as a national birthright had given way to fear of the future and anger at the politicians who had mortgaged it for short-term gain for themselves and their patrons....

Until now, American Samoans were deemed “non-citizen nationals,” and therefore denied the right to vote, run for office, work in certain jobs, sponsor family members for immigration, get federal student aid and other rights reserved for U.S. citizens. American Samoa was the last territory to win citizenship after a hard-fought legal battle spanning decades, according to the court decision, joining Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. John Fitisemanu, Pale Tuli and Rosavita Tuli, who were born in the territory but currently live in Utah, sued the federal government in March of last year on the grounds that they’re owed citizenship status under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution....

The difference is that Srinath achieved this in a series of 7 ODIs, whereas Mishra has made this record in a 5-match ODI series.
