I joined Henrietta Levin on CSIS's #Pekingology podcast to unpack China's "dual economy." Thanks to Henrietta and the CSIS team.
My thesis: China is running two economies at once, and the strong one is hollowing out the weak one. The strategic ambition is real (global dominance) — but the foundation (the economy) risks hollowing out.

As Xi Jinping prepares for his first trip to Pyongyang in nearly seven years, join @CSIS @mwlippert, @VictorDCha, @CSISFreeman @edgardkagan, and @osmastro to unpack what Beijing actually wants from Kim Jong-un—from how much sway Beijing holds over Kim, how China balances its desire for stability on the peninsula against Moscow's growing pull, and what the whole picture means for U.S. strategy in Asia.

President Trump’s historic visit to China came amid heightened geopolitical tension, and each side had sharply different priorities. Even so, talks produced a framework for cooperation and delivered economic gains, note @CSISFreeman and @ChinaPowerCSIS.

The Trump-Xi summit is likely to “reinforce a new set of implicit rules and assumptions for managing relations that ultimately favor China, which may embolden Beijing to test American resolve on Taiwan and other vital interests,” writes @Henrietta_Ivy. fam.ag/4dJYFtb
