Having had custody of trilateral relations in GW Bush's second term, I find the meeting at Camp David mind blowing. We could barely get South Korean and Japanese leaders to meet with us in the same room.

- This is truly inexplicable. We complain constantly about China's malicious information campaigns around the globe but we are ending one of the only effective means we have to counter with the truth? Someone explain this to me, please.
- All I have to say is this is one of the most astounding racist baiting statements I have seen from a Chinese "diplomat" in a long time. Shameful.Europeans and Americans can't distinguish between Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean individuals. No matter how much we dye our hair yellow or how sharp we make our noses, we can't become Westerners. We should always remember our roots. Senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi emphasized
00:00 - I do feel I need to ask the question. If the US Secretary of Defense was under sanctions from the Chinese, would he accept a request for a meeting with the MND?
- The idea that HongKongers must prove something to YOU is arrogance of the worst sort. I have no doubt that Hongkongers will make the best of a tough situation but don't set some sort of self-important bar that they must attain.
- Beijing has always been something of a “free rider” in the Middle East because, unlike the US, it plays no role as a security guarantor. Xi Jinping can call for a cease-fire and peace talks without having to put any skin in the game. China’s special envoy arrived in Dubai on
- “China has done a magnificent job bringing Japan and South Korea closer together,” said Dennis Wilder, a former top CIA China expert now at Georgetown University. “You couldn’t write a movie script as good as this.” ft.com/content/1817f3…
- As I watched this year's APEC leaders photo shoot, I remembered the day that I had to tell President Bush that he would have to wear a powder blue "dress" at the 2005 APEC summit in Hanoi. After a few choice remarks, he agreed to the dress but refused the hat.
- "Home-made" is not exactly a complete description. Many of the most important systems aboard (like the avionics and engines) come from Western countries with a lot more experience in modern commercial jets.The maiden commercial flight of home-made C919 lands at Beijing Capital international Airport, welcomed by a watergate ceremony.
00:00 - I suspect the biggest "lesson" Beijing will draw from the dramatic events in Russia is a smug sense of self-satifaction that it has correctly analyzed the factors that can endanger autocratic regimes and acted accordingly.
- Replying to @FT and @RobinBHardingThis article is almost sycophantic. Huawei is not some innocent bystander who has gotten caught in a gang shooting.
- This is an amazing scoop by @FT and @Dimi. It is sure to get under Beijing's skin. US Navy Seal unit that killed bin Laden trains for Chinese invasion of Taiwan ft.com/content/0a535b… via @FT
- I’m finding this latest meme very overstated. Xi sees Putin as a reliable partner in the existential struggle with the US, not as a vassal or subordinate.Xi-Putin talks highlight Russia’s role as ‘junior partner’ to China on.ft.com/3ncM75G
- This story appeared above the fold today in the People's Daily. To me, it's a clear indicator from Xi Jinping that he wants the bilateral in San Fransico in November. There is a long history of this kind of subtle signaling. chinadaily.com.cn/a/202309/19/WS…
