The US and China both face serious domestic strains. As Trump and Xi meet this week to discuss trade, AI and Taiwan, neither side should mistake the other’s weaknesses for strategic decline, writes @profLind (@CH_Americas)

“A security strategy based on a bluff will feel like a bargain until the moment it is challenged,” write @profLind and Daryl Press. “It is better to bolster deterrence today before a military crisis erupts.”

"What does good look like? ... Countries across Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia, building sovereign AI capacity, but with American technology. That's what good looks like. Local ownership, trusted infrastructure, and hardware, and their governance, right? But with American technology"

.@profLind and Daryl Press argue that the United States should “get comfortable with its partners seeking solutions more suited for today’s geopolitical realities, including, in some cases, acquiring their own nuclear weapons.”

China’s AI sector is advancing at remarkable speed and scale, raising urgent questions about how the United States and its allies maintain a competitive edge.

Why do nuclear dominoes not fall? The common wisdom holds that each new proliferator goads its rivals into following suit, but they rarely do. @the_nuclearyogi and I argue that this gap between expectation and reality cannot be explained by the cost of nuclear pursuit alone. 1/6

1/ Secretary Hegseth said many commendable things in his speech at Shangri-La Dialogue over the weekend. But his speech will be remembered mostly for its lack of self-awareness and for what he did not mention. Here is a brief reaction to it. (Short 🧵).

Disappointed and saddened by DOD decision to end decades of mutually beneficial collaboration between our nation's military officers & our civilian universities and think tanks. A loss for both communities with negative long-term implications for national security and civil-military relations.

“Conventional wisdom has long held that China would never become a technological powerhouse,” writes @profLind. But the Chinese Communist Party has found ways to “foster innovation without loosening its hold on power.”

Say what you want but I am genuinely impressed. Love the messaging, love the choice to choose the binding of pop culture, and love that they are doing that whilst being considered of the challenges of today. I would love the story of how this moment came to be. Priceless.

My take on US leadership @japantimes
"Although U.S. leadership in organizing the postwar order has been substantial, it has also been overstated by sympathetic Western analysts, while contributions from the European Union, Australia, Canada, and Global South countries like India deserve more attention.
In fact, U.S. leadership was always selective and self-serving, and it was already slipping away before the first Trump administration...
while the U.S. has sometimes led others, it has also been a follower.
To be sure, the U.S. remains the world’s leading power in terms of military, economic, and technological prowess. But power and leadership are not the same thing.
At the end of the day, while global governance does benefit from U.S. support, America’s transformation into a wrecking ball does not necessarily augur a collapse of the world order — especially if it does not extend beyond one or two presidential terms."

Curious about realism in the world of Trump and Xi, Putin and Erdogan, nuclear threats, plague and rising oceans? Low on cash & time? You can knock over my book in an afternoon for cheap. A panorama for the broke novice, and for anyone. Amaze your friends.

“Arguing about whether China is catching up to the United States misses the point,” writes @profLind. “Great powers have often been far weaker than the leading state but nevertheless engaged in dangerous security competition.”

“China today is already more powerful than the Soviet Union was during the Cold War,” writes @profLind. “Modern China, then, is not just a great power but a superpower. The world, in short, is bipolar.” fam.ag/4q5Q07Q

“The world, in short, is bipolar,” writes @profLind. “Many middle powers are influential actors within their regions, but only the United States and China exceed the great-power threshold.”

🇨🇳 | The US, Europe and Japan need to recognize that China poses a far greater challenge than the Soviet Union — and coordinate a response to the rise of an authoritarian superpower.
