🧵NEW DATA: Vessel tracking and maritime trade data from @HiddenReachCSIS offer key insights into the ongoing U.S.-Iran dispute over the Strait of Hormuz. Learn more about the strait through eight new charts and visualizations: csis.org/analysis/strai…

This has to be one of the coolest jobs in think tank land. If you’ve got experience in OSINT, satellite imagery, and geospatial analysis, this is a great opportunity. Apply here: careers.csis.org/opportunities/…

Iran announced that any vessel passing through the Strait of Hormuz would be attacked. This has significant consequences for states like China, which imports 40% of its oil through the strait. Read more from @HiddenReachCSIS and @AsiaMTI: csis.org/analysis/no-on…

As war chokes off Strait of Hormuz traffic, Chinese ships are not getting special treatment. New tracking data shows Chinese vessels have largely halted transits, underscoring Beijing’s exposure to instability in a region critical to its energy security. csis.org/analysis/no-on…

Our 2023 @CSIS feature explores China's efforts to secure its energy interests in the Strait of Hormuz—the world's most important chokepoint for transporting oil. features.csis.org/hiddenreach/ch…

"Analysts in China have warned that upwards of 45 percent of the country’s oil imports sail through the strait, and they have called for boosting cooperation with regional partners to ensure safe passage of energy resources."

The US sources 100 per cent of its gallium from overseas, with about 95 per cent of those imports coming from China. (Link in comments) #china #usa #trade #economy #news #scmpnews #scmp

As more countries are drawn into China's orbit, the United States may face diminishing market share and reduced strategic influence over an increasingly important domain of competition. Read more here: features.csis.org/hiddenreach/ch…

Beijing has engaged with emerging economies across the full spectrum of space development, including satellite design and technical training. At four key sites across Africa, new satellite imagery shows China's growing footprint in critical space infrastructure projects.

A new space race is underway. Countries everywhere want in. But they need partners who can get them there. Our latest feature explores how China has positioned itself as the primary gateway to space for much of the Global South.⬇️

The scale and diversity of China’s overseas space activity make it difficult to track. To untangle this growing network, @HiddenReachCSIS developed an index that measures 5 core domains of cooperation and scores countries accordingly. Learn more: features.csis.org/hiddenreach/ch…
