Interesting implied pivot *away* from China as focus of security strategy.
"There is so much about the draft papers that have caused some who’ve seen it to privately complain that it reads like openly fascist European rantings from the first half of the 20th century."

Trump’s Unpublished National Security Strategy Is Stephen Miller’s Far-Right Wet Dream
The president’s new national-security draft document rants against migration and cultural “erasure” – and endorses far-right political parties abroad, sources tell Zeteo.

A 2% wealth tax on assets over £10 million is reasonable - that's why 75% of the public support it along with 80% of millionaires.

From the new G20 report: 90% of humanity lives in countries with high inequality.
These nations are 7x more likely to face democratic decline.
Inequality is a global emergency.
It’s time to #TaxTheSuperRich.

People are choosing real alternatives instead of continuity. Mamdani stands for an antifascist economics in the name of the many. 🧵

The Effects of China Keeping Entry-Level Manufacturing
China continues to develop, yet it still keeps low-end manufacturing. If low-end manufacturing stays in China, where do newcomers plug in? What’s the industrialization path for countries like DRC, SA, Indonesia now?

This is an interesting case. It does appear Sheffield Hallam were in a very difficult position if staff in China were being intimidated. Academic freedom vs responsibility to protect staff is not a no-brainer, from the point of view of university administration.
"a decision by the university not to publish a final phase of the research... was communicated to the National Security Service..." "China is not believed to have an organisation named National Security Service, so it is not clear who the individuals were".

Waiting for the hit piece on Trump's dogmatic education he received at Wharton.
"The president has said his education at Wharton was formative. But critics say that his degree exemplifies how business schools steep students in capitalist dogma."

Excellent essay which captures the momentousness of the cultural moment as we in liberal democracies look at China and realize many of our foundational assumptions about how the world works were just wrong all along. This is a call for us to be honest about what’s happened and get our sh1t together.
I have a new, long piece in The Ideas Letter called “The Great Reckoning: What the West Should Learn from China," arguing that we must learn from China even (or especially) when its successes unsettle our assumptions. Link below.

I dunno, I'm pretty certain that if China blew up boats of foreign civilians in international waters, it would get more coverage --- and the discussion would not be about whether it violates their domestic law.
