Always happy to contribute to the public debate!

EU leaders should learn two things from the tariff mess:
1. Trump backs down in the face of pressure from financiers first and political allies second
2. His plutocrat allies love market turmoil, but, like everyone else, hate unpredictability (hence the bond-selloff induced pause).

At this point it should be clear that US conservatives and their Silicon Valley enablers are taking us all down a slippery slope to military confrontation with China.

Surprise! Who knew that the great short term threat to international order would come from its guarantor (the US) and not China? Europe’s leaders missed it, as did many IR scholars.
Good to remember that imperial orders will fray at the edges due to outside pressure, but they implode at the core.

Very grateful for the opportunity to discuss my research on Chinese diplomacy at Fudan University last week, where we also discussed the recent special issue of Global Policy about China in the UN.
