Bolsonaro’s new ally in questioning Brazil’s election: The military

Leaders of Brazil’s armed forces have begun raising doubts about the integrity of
the elections, despite little evidence of past fraud, ratcheting up already high tensions
over the stability of Latin America’s largest democracy.
Military leaders have identified for election officials what they say are a number
of vulnerabilities in the voting systems. They were given a spot on a transparency
committee that election officials created to ease fears that Bolsonaro had stirred up
about the vote. And Bolsonaro, a former army captain who filled his Cabinet with
generals, has suggested that on Election Day, the military should conduct its own
parallel count.
Election officials “invited the armed forces to participate in the electoral process,”
Bolsonaro said recently, referring to the transparency committee. “Did they forget that
the supreme chief of the armed forces is named Jair Messias Bolsonaro?”
Almir Garnier Santos, commander of the Brazilian navy, told reporters last month
that he backed Bolsonaro’s view. “The president of the republic is my boss, he is my
commander, he has the right to say whatever he wants,” he said.
Bolsonaro has added to the tension, saying his concerns about the election’s
integrity may lead him to dispute the outcome. “A new class of thieves has emerged
who want to steal our freedom,” he said. “If necessary, we will go to war.”

America takes on China with a giant microchips bill

Critics fear the $252bn push will be wasteful, but the law has attracted rare bipartisan
support

America’s heritage as the world’s dominant power in the semiconductor industry

is etched in the name of its most famous tech hub, Silicon Valley. Over the decades,
though, the art of crafting microchips out of silicon wafers has become a truly global
endeavour. American firms are still leaders in designing the devices. But the
Netherlands produces the most critical machinery for making them, while Taiwan,
South Korea and, increasingly, China churn them out. President Joe Biden will sign
into law a bill aimed at shoring up America’s position in the semiconductor industry
and bringing more manufacturing of microchips back to the country. Whether or not
the law achieves that, it is the clearest example yet of the more muscular industrial
policy now in fashion in America (as in much of the rest of the world).
The chips and Science Act, as it is formally known, took a tortuous path through
Congress. It was first proposed in 2020 when Donald Trump was still in the White
House. Over time it expanded into a much larger piece of legislation, presented as
America’s response to the challenge of an aggressive Chinese state intent on
dominating the industries of the future. In its final version, the centrepiece of the law
is $52bn in subsidies and incentives to develop semiconductor manufacturing
capacity in America. Most of the remaining $200bn-plus will go towards broader
scientific research, with a focus on cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence
and fusion energy.
