The search to define a Chinese order is raising questions beyond liberal political theory. Jiang Shigong has offered a new vision of the question of political space–pointing towards the reconstruction of world empire. My latest for @palladiummag: palladiummag.com/2020/02/05/jia…

“China isn’t just sort of an analytical problem, it is the political problem…. The development of China is the master key, I think, to understanding modernity…. And without it, you just don’t have a hope of grasping what’s going on.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sin…


New Bloomberg insight:

How do you only have 16k followers but regularly get more likes than me for all the nonsense you say? What do you do that? What’s your demographic?



Old school orientalist mystification like this is kinda quaint now, these days realheads use random Chinese words to discuss the latest polls in Iowa. Surely an omen of ziqi for Kamala... the purple qi of the Midwest...

Internal CCP debate over tifa, which happen in the neibu, can sometimes spill into public channels by affecting the tifa-biaotai call-and-response cycle. These are subtle and time-consuming to identify, but successful tifa analysis can identify major CCP policy shifts.

Interesting phenomenon since 4/2 where Gao, Pettis, etc., continually claim triumph after triumph while being repeatedly proven wrong in practice. An endlessly capacious worldview that can predict nothing yet purports to explain everything (via Twitter headlines).

Who made more concessions? The Chinese text lists 2 from each side, but that’s misleading: China’s #1 covers both of the US points, while China’s #2—suspending non-tariff measures from April 2—isn’t matched by anything on the US side. So who caved? Told you (on Apr 5).

today is the olympics of this

the essence of being a marxist is reading the financial press in the morning and muttering stuff to yourself like "bold moves from Brussels.. will Washington stand for it? The situation is serious indeed.." on the way to your very normal and boring employment or education
