US-China trade truce: how did we get here and what comes next? Grateful to Ana Swanson (NYT) and SAIS Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs faculty affiliates Jonas Nahm Ling Chen and Ho-fung Hung for this terrific discussion. Watch: youtu.be/6QXqQMsfY0Y?...

Ho-fung Hung: Developing countries welcome Chinese investment, more than imports of Chinese finished goods. They are largely aligned with China's desire for a multipolar world. But their industries are very worried that trade will deliver a China shock and deindustrialize them. Live now, tune in 🔻

As we change our stances toward China out loud & in real time, there are likely to be consequences. @jessicacweiss.bsky.social of @johnshopkinssais.bsky.social helped me understand ways China may respond. youtu.be/OJ1xpug0k8A?...

This is how it’s done: @profsaunders.bsky.social and several colleagues at Columbia have suggested text for their university to respond to the Trump administration. Kudos to @dandrezner.bsky.social for posting danieldrezner.substack.com/p/guest-post...

This is unfathomably cruel, unnecessary, and stupid. Which can be said of so many things since January 20. But this is outside these senators’ windows.

Thanks @kaiserkuo.bsky.social for featuring ACF’s launch on the Sinica podcast! Great comments from Andy Kim on the current moment and China policy: www.sinicapodcast.com/p/getting-ch...

The recording of the launch of the SAIS Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs is now available! In these times, I’m especially proud of the rigor, humility, civility, and creativity that infused the day’s discussions. Watch: youtu.be/C7UgNvXpi7Y

Andy Kim (on here??) is rocking it at the launch of SAIS institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs Promises to walk up to USAID building right after he leaves here

Outstanding panel on AI & China, moderated masterfully (as always) by Richard Danzig.

Responding to China strategically requires getting China right. New report out to help do just that, from the just-launched Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs at SAIS.

I have one small part in this great compilation of China policy ideas for the launch of the SAIS Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs. Thanks and congrats @jessicacweiss.bsky.social!

It was an honor to be invited by @jessicacweiss.bsky.social to participate in this report on US-China relations. My contribution focuses on US-China labor tensions. After describing them, I propose each government use the International Labor Organization (ILO) to mediate.

This @wsj.com piece on China going after economists for not being positive about the economy intersects with the @himself.bsky.social essay on the platforms degrading democratic republics. It's harder to foster trust and positive directionality than it is to sow chaos. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

Outstanding piece from my coauthor and former student, @eunajo.bsky.social

I’m a bit surprised they used my quote. Happy they did. “China] is a Legalist state that uses Confucianism to present itself as moral.” www.scmp.com/news/china/p...

As we approach the end of the year, here are some of the highlights from the Sinica Podcast over the last 10 months since rebooting the show in February, following the demise of The China Project about a year ago. Here's the return episode featuring @goldkorn.bsky.social: art19.com/shows/sinica...
