In response to a question from @Aliszali about the #DavidsonWindow, former @INDOPACOM Commander ADM Davidson emphasized that the threat to #Taiwan is most manifest this decade, and that discussions of specific years is less useful than more deeply examining the overall risk.

Whole lot of things I missed while sick. This is interesting. China has (finally) announced its Special Envoy for the Pacific. Qian Bo - who until recently was China's Ambassador to Fiji - will take up the position

[Ali Szalwinski @Aliszali]

Katsuji Nakazawa of Nikkei cites annoymous source that Wang Huning has been tapped as next CPPCC chairman and deputy director of the Central Leading Group for Taiwan Affairs, and been tasked with creating an "alternative to 'one country, two systems'." https://t.co/226KWP9DgL

Stark image on ROK under-institutionalization! The outlined article seems like a great framing for understanding the challenges and potential pathways for ROK regional engagement

[Zack Cooper @ZackCooper]

President Yoon wants South Korea to be a "global pivotal state" but Seoul is under-institutionalized on the global stage.

In a new article, I look at the disconnect between South Korea's new focus and the constraints on the format of its engagement. A short thread... (1/4)

[Paul T. Haenle @paulhaenle]

1/ No doubt Xi's challenges w/ Covid are daunting. But to me his problem starts with where he wants this to end. At the end of the day, when covid is behind us, Xi wants to say the CCP handled it better than any political system in the world (esp US/Western-led democracies).
