This piece dovetails with my earlier analysis on the rapid deterioration of China-North Korea relations (lnkd.in/gBV9qHxd)

Opinion | China-North Korea relations start the new year on a new low
Between Kim’s outpourings to Putin and hardly a mention of Xi’s greeting is a message: North Korea cares little about saving face over relations with Beijing.

A great piece by @fengzhang.bsky.social:"a deeper and potentially more destabilising dimension of India-China rivalry. Some scholars call it a “positional rivalry” for leadership in Asia." Check out my book with Ganguly/Thompson on this Sino-Indian positional rivalry in Asia: doi.org/10.1017/9781...

My latest on Sino-Indian relations from the China-India Brief of the Centre on Asia and Globalisation, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, NUS. I argue that China and India are engaged in a double rivalry, and three scenarios are possible as Trump returns to the presidency.

If you take China away out of that group, the main "strength" the others have is their ability to destroy things and their willingness to throw their populations into a charnel house. The US has a far better hand and, though it is in the process of misplaying that hand, retains enormous resilience.
