It was my great honor to speak with @meredithchenn at some length on how the landscape of U.S.-China relations looks to me now, especially through the prism of academic exchange, as part of the @SCMPNews Open Questions interview series: amp.scmp.com/news/china/dip…

How Will Xi Handle the Succession Process?


Along with our @Zhengfawei80 colleagues, I've enjoyed a fairly constant on and offline conversation with my friend @vshih2 since February 2021, and so it was a delight to continue our chat before a terrific live audience at @FPRI yesterday, video here: youtube.com/watch?v=xZ7BTE…

Please join us at 2pm EST this Friday, 10/10. @NeysunM will moderate a conversation with @busbyj2, Elizabeth Donkervoort, @kendraschaefer, @neilthomas123, and myself in which we share some takeaways from the @PennUSChina fellows’ week in DC last month.

In September, our current fellows assembled in Washington DC for a week of intensive dialogues with a wide range of policymakers & other relevant actors on U.S. policy toward China. In Friday's webinar, some of those fellows will share their general take-aways from these meetings

While prominent China skeptics like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance remain in the administration, most have gone quiet on China policy, choosing to fight other battles. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

A fourth term for Xi Jinping may be likely, but succession is inevitable. What can we glean from current signals & past practice about how that process might play out? I am looking forward to welcome my friend @vshih2 to discuss these Qs at @FPRI on Tue: fpri.org/event/2025/how…

Anyone who says the masked marauders of ICE are in Chicago to promote safety & security simply doesn't live here. Through the indiscriminate use of force against citizens & migrants alike, they're instead provoking anger, anxiety and confrontation. washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/10…

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing…

What I am hearing from DoJ sources: The Comey indictment is among the worst abuses in DOJ history. Shocking. It’s hard to overstate how a big a moment this is.


It was so much fun to go back and represent the great class of ‘97 @Princeton last night, many thanks to all the students who attended my talk @WhigClio and raised phenomenal questions
