Sharing brief thoughts on Trump’s Taiwan gambit. I argue Trump’s approach, if acted on, would be a shift from deterrence to dealmaking in a domain where there is no deal to be made, beyond offering unilateral concessions that undermine US credibility.

Beijing continues to distort the intent of UN Resolution 2758. It didn’t address the one China principle. FM Zhou Enlai said at the time that it didn’t resolve the issue of Taiwan’s status. It’s time to be honest about this issue. https://t.co/wWSE8MtsyE

Delighted to announce the publication of my book, Geopolitics and China’s Patronage Strategy (@routledgebooks , https://t.co/aMxK9Q8dwU)! 1/

Instead, the agency of neighboring regimes and the resource constraints amid geopolitical competition incentivize Beijing to be a wary patron in its periphery! 8/

Check out @DaltonLin's article on China’s Pursuit of Agenda-Setting Power for @sciencedirect https://t.co/6T1BA2pPkF

Delighted to share my @FPRI_Orbis article, where I argue China leverages the agenda-setting power for an international power transition. The agenda China proposes is development, and the lever to promote the agenda is the BRI https://t.co/YzTQZGKDp8

The Problems With China’s Economy Start at the Top. "One view is that officials in Beijing ��live above the clouds,” lacking a full understanding of how their attitudes and policies affect businesses." Excellent analysis by @EswarSPrasad https://t.co/uCAX2pWWLY

Honored to interview with @CarterCenter on the cross-Taiwan Strait triangular security dynamics and pointed out the blind spot of the strategic ambiguity vs. clarity debate https://t.co/0ZPNEbBO0J

台湾前总统马英九称他的中国大陆行是以私人身份进行的祭祖交流之旅，但作为台湾重要的政治人物，他在中国所受到的接待规格以及他的一些言论(如称赞武汉抗疫)在台湾引发讨论和争议。有学者认为，对于台湾人来说，马英九此行最重要的观察点是交流是否对等，以及是否能带来后续交流的势头。

The blind spot in Wu Xinbo’s fatalism re US policy is how China’s shifts under XJP - more repression & state capitalism at home, more assertive foreign policy abroad - that has induced a reaction by US & others. We’re in a vicious cycle propelled by both. https://t.co/cqGryswkQ1
