Ho-fung Hung: Developing countries welcome Chinese investment, more than imports of Chinese finished goods. They are largely aligned with China's desire for a multipolar world. But their industries are very worried that trade will deliver a China shock and deindustrialize them.

As we change our stances toward China out loud & in real time, there are likely to be consequences.
@jessicacweiss.bsky.social of @johnshopkinssais.bsky.social helped me understand ways China may respond.

This is how it’s done: @profsaunders.bsky.social and several colleagues at Columbia have suggested text for their university to respond to the Trump administration. Kudos to @dandrezner.bsky.social for posting danieldrezner.substack.com/p/guest-post...

This is unfathomably cruel, unnecessary, and stupid. Which can be said of so many things since January 20. But this is outside these senators’ windows.

The absolute devastation that @chuckschumer.com is about to inflict on D.C. by supporting the GOP’s continuing resolution is hard to overstate. Massive cuts to schools and law enforcement. Teachers laid off en masse. Basic city services may grind to a halt because we *cannot spend our own money.*

It was an honor to be invited by @jessicacweiss.bsky.social to participate in this report on US-China relations. My contribution focuses on US-China labor tensions. After describing them, I propose each government use the International Labor Organization (ILO) to mediate.

This @wsj.com piece on China going after economists for not being positive about the economy intersects with the @himself.bsky.social essay on the platforms degrading democratic republics. It's harder to foster trust and positive directionality than it is to sow chaos.
