    While the United States tends to be deemed "weak" if it can't prevent cracks in the postwar order, China and Russia are often portrayed as "strong" simply for introducing such stresses. That gap in evaluatory criteria risks overly pessimistic appraisals of U.S. foreign policy.

    I'm excited to join @EurasiaGroup's Global Macro team and am grateful to all who've extended warm welcomes. There's certainly no shortage of political risks, so I'll be exploring and learning a great deal every day.

    While it's often observed that China has a patient, long-term grand strategy, its actions this year—most recently its passage of legislation that tightens its grip over Hong Kong—bespeak an impulsive, overreaching diplomacy that's placing Beijing into a deepening diplomatic hole.

    This story hasn't received as much attention as it should; it's another indicator that longstanding allies of the United States are responding to its foreign policy by envisioning arrangements and institutions that circumvent its reach.

    "News is information that's required in a democratic society, and Thomas Jefferson said a democracy is dependent on an informed citizenry. That sounds corny, but I don't care whether it sounds corny or not. It's the truth." Rest in peace, Jim Lehrer. nytimes.com/2020/01/23/bus…

    A sobering report by @vermontgmg "[E]xperts are anticipating an election in which it's harder to vote, harder to count the votes, less clear who's won, and more unpredictable than any election Americans have lived through."

    The summit cancellation leaves Seoul feeling confused and embarrassed. Trade frictions are increasingly straining Washington's ties with Tokyo. Add in an inconsistent U.S. approach to China, and the current outlook for U.S. influence in the Asia-Pacific isn't promising.

    I’m pleased to share that I’ve joined the @CrisisGroup as its senior research and advocacy advisor for U.S.-China relations. I hope to advance efforts to ease tensions, manage crises, and prevent conflicts between the world’s two most powerful countries.

    THREAD: After well over two and a half wonderful years at the @RANDCorporation, I'll be taking a bit of time to pursue some writing projects. I wanted to share a few reflections on my last day. [1/6]
