Reflecting on the passing of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, grateful I was able to capture her experience with China in a podcast. With the war in Ukraine raging, her death seems like the end of an era. https://t.co/VxpJ3s3lKL

Appreciate @ForeignAffairs giving a platform to @stevenacook and me to talk about China and the Middle East. https://t.co/2fO9ZLg73t

Glad to see Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman’s trip to China has been worked out. She’s been many times in previous roles, but might I suggest these interviews with two former Deputies on handling China? https://t.co/d7QP8XLvHq https://t.co/kTOoZDOzQO

Excellent piece from NPR's Emily Feng on how China became the global leader of polysilicon used in solar panels. Critical for understanding industrial policies, global supply chains, tech transfer, and green growth.

Curious about John Kerry’s Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua before their Shanghai meeting? Former US climate envoy Todd Stern spent countless hours w Xie and describes him in this podcast. https://t.co/XOsuIU5x7G

Congratulations, @jennifermharris. We will miss you here on the west coast. Good luck on your return to government service.

I'll be carrying it into the Biden Administration, helping to build a post-neoliberal vision for our international economic policy and foreign policy as Senior Director for International Economics & Labor at the NSC/NEC. 5/

@jonathanjosephs @jonathanjosephs Always a joy to talk to you and your BBC colleagues. Appreciate the chance to share my views on #USA - #China trade.

[James Green @jamesbgreen]

Thanks to @BBCBusiness for hearing my thoughts on #trade in the upcoming U.S.-China meeting in Alaska.

Also appreciate being asked about diplomatic "truculence" -- who knew SAT words could be so useful?

"On some of the #trade and investment issues.. there’s not going to be much room for meeting of the minds"

As President Biden's team hold their first #USA #China meeting in Alaska ex-US trade official @jamesbgreen

Thanks to @BBCWorld for the conversation on the next #USTR, pending Senate confirmation

[Jonathan Josephs @jonathanjosephs]

"An inspired choice.. [with] the trade know-how to move things forward for #USA #trade policy".

#Biden pick for @USTradeRep, Katherine Tai, shows a desire to play in the international system.

Brilliant, calm analysis on the “Longer Telegram” on China by the man who literally wrote the book on George Kennan https://t.co/JGIsuaEMR5

Problematic to warn against a new Cold War while simultaneously stoking nationalist vaccine competition, downtalking Western mRNA vax

“The strong should not bully the weak,” President Xi said. “Decisions should not be made by simply showing off strong muscles or waving a big fist.” #DavosAgenda

[James Green @jamesbgreen]

Important piece from @amyyqin on new State Council rules. Curious how mofcom can justify given recent EU investment agreement

[James Green @jamesbgreen]

Glad to work with @wendyscutler on this piece on the challenges of the EU-China investment agreement https://t.co/kBW7RM7bWb

[James Green @jamesbgreen]

@niubi perhaps just a chance to grab headlines and sound like there is a plan to address Beijing’s trade aggression....

[James Green @jamesbgreen]

Thoughts on addressing China’s trade bullying, with former acting deputy USTR Wendy Cutler. https://t.co/Dx5CIYSIeb

[James Green @jamesbgreen]

@niubi have been thinking on this. Why 十四? Because of the 四-死/four-death hominem? Other countries might have gone w biblical 12.

[James Green @jamesbgreen]

@niubi @VanityFair Thx. 3 yrs ago this month I sat next to Wendi Deng at the Xi-Trump state banquet in Beijing when she spoke about her ties

[James Green @jamesbgreen]

Thanks to @StanfordSAPARC for hosting a good discussion today on the CCPs 5th Plenum and implications for the U.S. and the globe

[Shorenstein APARC @StanfordSAPARC]

Listening to @jamesbgreen, @LuXiaomeng, @damienics and our China Program Director Jean Oi discuss the short- and long-term implications of the Fifth Plenum Decision for China-U.S. “Decoupling” and the world’s economic and technology ecosystems
