Great perspective from @JulianGewirtz in his new Substack on US-China. My own read on the coming Trump/Xi summit: the mood on both sides is more muted than the calendar suggests. Neither Washington nor Beijing is going in with high expectations, both want it to go smoothly, and neither is ready to give much ground.
Huawei is finally going to trial after a nearly eight-year wait, weeks before Trump’s meeting with Xi. The trial “will get Beijing’s attention and irritate them." @Kubota_Yoko https://t.co/B9LIXL6VIH via @WSJ
Many assumed a richer China would liberalize. It didn't. @ChenggangXu2024 explains why. His "Institutional Genes" -- imperial rule spliced with Soviet Bolshevism -- is the most clarifying China book I've read this year. Highly recommended. https://t.co/oZU23XCXjO
The "Thucydides Trap" treats China as a normal rising power. Renowned Chinese scholar @ChenggangXu2024 , who survived the system he now studies, says that's exactly the mistake Beijing wants Washington to make. Read more in this week’s WSJ China newsletter: https://t.co/6EGSPEyeJE via @WSJ
American concerns about China’s manufacturing and export juggernaut have gone global @JonathanEmont https://t.co/kZHd92rKT8 via @WSJ
@RyanFedasiuk makes a strong case that Washington's China expertise is thinning as fewer analysts spend real time in-country. Worth reading, whatever you make of the "China hawk" label.
"A currency accord, enforced with tariffs, might be the only way to get China to act. The time may be ripe. Frustration with China is boiling over, especially in Europe." @greg_ip https://t.co/CW4XrhYQDo via @WSJ
“The US has been clear across Trump's "ART" trade deals that it wants to limit US trade partners signing deals with China; it is not clear whether Canada rejected limits on deals with China, or if the US had asked for limits on Canada agreeing to trade deals with countries beyond China.” @petereharrell is a must-read. 👇
