"It really does matter who's in office in 5 years. I think Xi Jinping is perhaps ill-informed on the economy, but he is also willing to double down on this [economic] strategy, which will undermine relations with other parts of the world." @marygao: brook.gs/3W8Cira

Was extremely happy to go on the @BrookingsChina podcast with @jonczin and @ryanl_hass, two of my favorite voices on China and also just really good guys. But it's their fault I went into so many intricacies of ancient party history (remember He Long?)

"Xi believes that what the West does to destroy communist nations isn't to use violence, but to win over certain people within your system with consumerism and materialism."
@JosephTorigian talks to @ryanl_hass and @jonczin about Xi's succession plans: brook.gs/4BUKSKo
"The tools that China has used in the past to generate economic growth and to control their economy... can no longer serve that function because they have been essential to facilitating China's growth during an unprecedented credit expansion."

Xi Jinping has purged every leader of China’s top military body but one. Why turn on his own allies? @JosephTorigian joins @ryanl_hass & @jonczin on The Beijing Brief podcast to unpack the purges, Xi’s father’s legacy, and the succession question. Listen🎧 brook.gs/4BUKSKo
Washington’s commitment to Taiwan is wobbling just as Taiwan matters more to the U.S. than ever. In @ForeignAffairs, @RebeccaLissner and @mirarapphooper explain why that gap could tempt Beijing into a dangerous miscalculation, and what to do about it. brook.gs/4kHYuCy
The U.S. and China have agreed to a formal AI dialogue and an emergency hotline for AI safety incidents. What happens next? Join @kyleichan, Kendra Schaefer and Selina Xu, moderated by Mark MacCarthy, on Monday, November 23 at 10 am ET (online) 👇

How do you protect Ukraine without NATO? @HowardLise and @MichaelEOHanlon propose a new, strictly defensive security architecture in @wapo: Ukraine forgoes NATO, but Western troops could run its air defenses if Russia attacks again. 👇

Southeast Asia drew record foreign investment in 2025. Keeping it that way is now a geopolitical task as much as a commercial one. @LynnKuok in @FortuneMagazine on what governments and businesses must do to protect the region’s promise 👇

With the midterms behind us, what does a lame-duck Trump mean for the world? @dandrezner and Elizabeth Saunders ask how far he’ll go to make peace, and war. Essential reading in @ForeignAffairs 👇 brook.gs/4Afdf4i

"If the party does not have these [foreign policy] debates openly and consistently over the next two years, a Democratic president risks entering office in 2029 much as Jimmy Carter did in 1977."

1/ Sharing a collaboration with @Ali_Wyne to support thinking around post-Trump China policy. We argue that America's policy pendulum swings on China have been counterproductive. A new approach grounded in national renewal and the mood of American public would be more effective.
Israel’s election left no clear winner, and the U.S. midterms are on November 3. What do both mean for U.S.-Israel relations?
Join @HadyAmr, @shibleytelhami, @Bsamuels0, @ilangoldenberg & @joel_rayburn for a webinar on Thursday, November 5, at 10 am ET:

"We're in a sort of unique situation, especially for a midterm election, in which what the president is doing overseas is having a real impact on his ability to get his agenda done at home and to prevail in midterm elections." @MaloneySuzanne on Iran: brook.gs/4yDlGoV
"This issue of catastrophic risk, which has been part of the new conversation about what the models might be capable of doing, feeds into this larger sense of anxiety that Americans have about the world." @MaloneySuzanne on AI as a midterm wildcard: brook.gs/4yDlGoV
On a scale of 1–10, how healthy is China's economy? Logan Wright puts it around a 2, while Beijing projects a 7 or 8.
On the new episode of The Beijing Brief, @jonczin asks @marygao & Logan Wright what's driving China's slowdown, and what it means. 🎧
