The Framework for a Disciplined U.S.-China Rivalry https://t.co/bzuDznzP3S

[Hilton Root @hiltonroot]

The US and China do not need another dialogue. They need a circuit breaker to prevent lawful commercial disputes from hardening into tests of national resolve.

Strategic rivalry changes what trade governance must do.

Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs drop tomorrow. Will Xi Jinping flinch? Not likely. My new @Survival commentary reveals how an ideologically fortified China—backed by global allies and a population ready to endure pain—could outlast America’s consumer-driven economy. #TrumpsTradeWar #USChina #LiberationDayTarrifPlan #China

My latest article, "Civilisational Conflict," explores how China’s self-identification as a 'civilisational-state' poses a unique strategic challenge that goes beyond political and economic dimensions to include the cultural and ideological aspects that shape national identities.https://t.co/qtVevqLLdR

Fundamental mismatch with China in perceptions is real— technological transfers are not transactional but civilizational. https://t.co/vsZ9U9W3AH

We will learn how much China values its ties with the U.S. in the weeks ahead, and should not jump to the conclusion that an axis of autocracy is forming to counter the West.

How did the Catholic Church contribute to values that underpin liberal democracy? https://t.co/MZTCFUEPFQ

.@JoHenrich has devised a teasing term to describe societies where rules and values have come together with benign results: WEIRD. That means Western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic https://t.co/evhmrZ3qLF

Finished this while waiting for the results. Huge book but eminently readable. And very important. Highly recommended.

@JonHaidt Being paralyzed by hyper-partisanship is not why America failed to prepare for COVID. Widespread asystemic thinking, an inability to think about complex systems and their dynamics is costing many lives, and it is found among all parties. #NetworkOrigins https://t.co/OK3RMYRpBx
