@PaulJHeer What an interesting thesis. I've never heard this before, but it certainly seems to make sense. Thanks Shuxian!!

@mitchpresnick @pstAsiatech @Noahpinion Thanks, Mitch! You verbalized my intuition in a far more articulate fashion than I could have, haha.

@YashengHuang @nytimes Wait, you mean the New York Times got China wrong? Perish the thought, haha. 😀

@Yaqiu You've seriously gone off the deep end, Yaqiu.

[James Boyle (伯泳学） @JamesDavidBoyle]

@Yaqiu Thank God that doesn't happen in the US.

@xingsthatmatter I've lived in both - America for a good deal of my life, and Beijing for six months last year. I prefer China. But I agree that there are certain things that the US does better. Also you missed pizza.

@RushDoshi Rush, I apologize for the overconfidence. It was unwarranted, especially as I didn't post a counter-argument, and the evidentiary record of China's behavior over the past few years can be interpreted in a number of ways. You were right to call me out, and I apologize.

@PaulJHeer I would argue that we've already become a source of instability. That's been true since the War in Terror started in 2001, but has grown considerably more true since 2016.

@goetheny1113 @JonahDispatch Joseph - annual aid to Israel of $4 billion - yes, I agree with you, it's not very much. However, since 2023, we've given Israel something like $30 billion in direct military assistance or regional security operations - that's arguably more material.

@Dalzell60 Thanks for doing this - I'll send some thoughts sepcor.

@AsiaLens I'm not even sure it matters, in this context, that Professor Da may have government ties through the MSS. He said that structural friction will continue, but both sides need to talk to each other. That's unquestionably true. Why does it matter that Da has MSS ties here?

@mehdirhasan Mehdi, Biden made this war possible by soft-pedaling the resuscitation of the JCPOA and bankrolling a genocide in Gaza.

@sarahleah1 @SenRickScott @AIPAC Yeah it's almost like AIPAC drafted that entire text for him - it's stale, shopworn and completely out of touch with reality.

[James Boyle (伯泳学） @JamesDavidBoyle]

@mattduss Honestly, Sen Blumenthal can talk all he wants, but Congress has been irrelevant in the conduct of this war, and it will be irrelevant in its conclusion.

@ianbremmer @ezraklein A Thucydides trap features the encounter of a rising power with an established (vice declining) one. Those who insist on calling the lead power "declining", in this context, are trying to argue that Xi was implicitly insulting the US, when in fact he wasn't.

@NiallHarbison How are Rocky's eyes doing? Will he need surgery?
