Peak Economic Security in US China Relations. Talking with Matt Ferchen, Senior Fellow at Yale Law School thesanfranciscoexperiencepod… @MattFerchen @lawfare @YaleLawSch @RulesBasedOrder @wto @BrettonWoods @dtiffroberts @BWRWorld – at San Francisco, CA
In my new piece for @lawfare I ask if we've reached "Peak Economic Security?" lawfaremedia.org/article/pea…. The answer, inevitably, is no. But I see the need for constraining the expanding US-China economic security dilemma and offer some ideas on how to do it.
"The problem with all this focus on Chinese economic coercion, and the related anxieties about its ability to weaponize trade, is that China hasn't been particularly good at it." My latest on the BRI Forum and China’s economic influence:

"Is China Too Liberal?" Back in its formative stages in 2014 or so, that was the original title I'd given to my new piece on China's longstanding focus on economic development as a type of magic bullet in both domestic and foreign policy. authors.elsevier.com/a/1hncF… (1)
At @CarnegieEndow, @Cynthia66619132 and I had a fun conversation about that back in 2013 at a well-attended Carnegie event in DC. Much has changed in the meantime, but happy that a version of this is now out in the world (2)
Although now a bit overdue, this is also a good time to note how excited I am to have joined the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale Law School @YLSChina earlier this summer. I'll be focusing on China's economic statecraft, economic influence and implications for economic security.
My latest article on "Contradictions in China's Developmentalist Foreign Policy" just came out in @FPRI_Orbis. I argue that China's "development solves all problems" narrative persists, despite increased focus on security relative to economic development authors.elsevier.com/a/1hncF…

The EU and #ASEAN seek to cope with the multiple uncertainties arising from the U.S.-China rivalry.
Both blocs aim to benefit from each other's comparative advantages & reduce risks associated with dependencies on Beijing, say @MattFerchen & @cckuik 👇

🗞️ | JUST OUT
The EU & ASEAN formally marked 45 years of diplomatic ties at the end of 2022.
To realize the full potential of their strategic partnership, the two blocs should step up cooperation across policy areas.
