The Singapore miracle happened in a world structured by a benign, broad minded superpower. So what happens if that world is no more? My latest for ⁦@opinion⁩ drawing on two weeks in Singapore last month. ⁦@AEI⁩ bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Senior U.S. and Taiwanese defense officials met secretly in Alaska last week. The public narrative around the meeting focuses on how it is "likely to anger China" -- but crucial for us to understand the need for the United States to push against the massive show of strength…

I see a lot of magical thinking about when China will be "ready" to invade Taiwan. That's not how it works. Xi will invade tomorrow, or in 3 months, or in four years, or never. It's not about "readiness." It's about complicated political calculi, mostly domestic, of which by…

I have noticed that colleagues, who have learned Chinese to a high standard and who have spent considerable time living and working in China, tend to be much more critical of the Chinese political system then western expats who simply rely on China for their income /1

She's got Kim Jong Un's title right--but because this is for an English language audience, the foreign ministry spokesperson refuses to call him the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, which is his most important title.

In an extremely rare hot mic moment at the China parade, Xi and Putin discussed how organ transplants (!) and other advances may allow people to live to 150 this century.

Come on New York Times, please don't repeat Chinese propaganda in your headline about the parade.

One person I won’t be bumping into at Xi’s military parade today is Australia’s Ambassador to China. As I report in today’s @australian, Amb Dewar is going to be about as far away from China’s capital as you can get without leaving 🇨🇳’s borders theaustralian.com.au/world/one-abse…

What people are getting wrong about China and Russia. Putin's presence at the parade serves less as a reminder about the strength of the Russia-China friendship, and more as a reminder of how much more militarily powerful China is than Russia. Autocratic alliances -- especially…

The Communist Party of China DID NOT DEFEAT THE JAPANESE IN WORLD WAR 2. The Chinese Nationalists -- with a huge amount of American support -- defeated the Japanese. Beijing's Sept 3 parade pretends that it's their government that won World War 2. It's not. The history is clear.

Only twice before have leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea stood together on the balustrade like this... Moscow in 1957 and Beijing in 1959. In addition to the commemoration of 1945, the optics inevitably echo those early days of the Cold War

Greetings from Taiwan, where the KMT -- the party that actually led the fight against the invading Japanese army in China during World War II -- still exists. The CCP assisted the KMT during the war, but the CCP did not lead the fight.
