76,000 fake social media accounts.
Thousands of people trafficked and beaten.
$15 billion in Bitcoin seized for US coffers.

The aftermath raises huge geopolitical questions--and lots of risk.

42% of the world now buys China’s anti-U.S. narrative. At the SCO Summit, Xi & Putin painted America as the threat—backed by new institutions & info ops. If the U.S. doesn’t act fast, it risks losing allies.

42 Percent Of The World Is Buying China’s Anti-U.S. Narrative

At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, China and Russia pushed an anti-US narrative. Xi’s legal warfare and India’s role show rising risks in a time of tariffs.

This week, the U.S. chased off a Chinese vessel operating near Alaska. The Philippines is tracking 3 in its waters.
In my latest @Forbes column, I break down how China’s research is blurring the line between science and strategy—turning oceanographic surveys into legal warfare.

China's research vessels are blurring scientific and military aims, and raising legal and security concerns in the US, Taiwan, and worldwide.

China is using laws as weapons—and most leaders don’t even see it coming.

🔥 My latest @Forbes column—just named an Editor’s Pick—asks a tough question: What if Israel’s strike on Iran was legal under international law? And what does that say about how outdated our 9rules of war have become?

The Israel-Iran War Tests The Limits Of International Law

Israel’s strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities are legal under international law. But they expose dangerous gaps in the laws of war.

Court Rulings Mean Tariffs Stay On The Menu—And TACO Is Off

Courts struck down and then revived Trump's tariffs this week. Trump is already preparing another way for his tariffs to survive—and to declare political victory.

Jill Goldenziel @jillgoldenziel.bsky.social · Jun 3

Two courts ruled Trump's use of emergency powers (IEEPA) to impose sweeping tariffs went too far.
Another court said… not so fast.
This legal showdown isn’t just about trade.
It’s about the limits of executive power.
I break it down in on Youtube here:

🌮 Trump’s tariffs got struck down—then instantly revived.

Courts ruled he can’t use “emergency powers” for sweeping economic tariffs. But they also showed him how to reissue them legally.

And yes—he’s already started.

I don’t take this mic for granted.

This week, I stood in Einstein’s old classroom—25 years after being told I’d never get into Princeton.

What got me there?
Curiosity. Grit. A mindset of service.

Now I teach others to lead the same way—by speaking truth with power and presence.

International standards (ITU, ISO) matter to internet freedom, and China is on the march

Jill Goldenziel @jillgoldenziel.bsky.social · May 1

While we argue about tariffs, China is building a global surveillance web. It’s exporting repressive laws, dominating tech standards, and reshaping the Internet. My latest in @Forbes explains why the U.S. must act now.

They called me “Visionary.” Said I “connected so many dots.”

At CELIS Leaders DC, I spoke on Economic Security—how democracies protect freedom when autocrats weaponize investment.

The U.S. and EU are tightening investment rules. The stakes are high. I help leaders connect the dots that matter.
