WSJ also reporting it.
Notice the wording....America Intel has almost no visibility on China.
Then too there is the fundamental problem that the foreign affairs braintrust does not understand the rest of the world, they lack basic competence.
Make some space in your inbox.
In Washington, there is a habit of talking about “the liberal world order,” as if this is something we protect.
The liberal world order isn’t NATO or the EU.
It’s not the WTO, or America’s defense relationships with Japan and South Korea.
Those are all real things, with relatively legible meanings.
The “liberal world order” is said to include all those things but also much more.
It apparently includes the integrity of Ukraine’s national borders, as Comrade Stalin redrew them in 1954.
It includes the relative independence of Taiwan.
And occasionally, its defenders say it includes the Paris climate agreement, too.
Basically, the liberal world order is the geopolitical status quo as a transnational class of political elites would have it.
It’s a world where Russia is supposed to stay behind the 700,000 square miles of territory it gave up peacefully after 1991, and it’s supposed to take whatever trading relationships the United States sees fit for it.
It’s a world where China is making that international elite much richer than before.
Consequently, conflicts with China are minimized by the liberal world order’s institutions, or blamed on “America First”.
The United States under Joe Biden is expected to defend this liberal world order, to restore it, or even expand upon it somehow.
I wouldn’t count on it.
The vast Russian military buildup on the border of Ukraine and the provocative military exercises conducted by China near Taiwan show us powers that are at least thinking about testing the boundaries of this liberal world order, at least where the commitments of the United States are ambiguous.

I heard someone say the other day that our elites have decided already that China has won, and that they are folding in with China because they want to be on the right side of history.
I will add that China systematically rewards those who come onboard first, there will always be a penalty for delay.
I wonder if that is right.
China would prefer that Taiwan come under its control without a major military confrontation.
It would prefer the fait accompli it executed on Hong Kong’s relative independence.
A hot war over Taiwan would risk one of the island nation’s most important assets, the very reason anyone would want to capture Taiwan: its hammerlock on the semiconductor industry.
What should keep us all up at night is the fact that the United States does not have leaders ready for these challenges.
Joe Biden has never met a foreign-policy idea he couldn’t screw up. He has a history of trying to write off problems by resorting to the most divisive solution imaginable, the partition of nations.
Most worrisome of all is that he does not appear to be in great shape; he often looks and sounds every day of his 79 years. He could very well be succeeded by Kamala Harris — who is widely believed to be loathed by the staff of the current White House, as well as by her own staff. She is known for not doing her homework on important questions, for not standing behind her own words, and she could potentially inherit Biden’s place at the table.
World history is full of satrapies, colonies, and revisionist powers who wait until an abdication crisis, or a leadership vacuum — however temporary — before taking their big gamble. The chance of an epic miscalculation — by us, by our rivals, or by our friends — is growing by the day.

trump stood up to them. you see what happened to him...
Russia is on Team China now, when we deal with one we are also dealing with the other, we forced them into it a few years back, because our foreign policy brain trust is completely incompetent.
And the Revolution (AKA "The Biden Administration") claims to be standing up to China, but I have said from the jump that this is a charade conducted for the domestic audience.
Besides, our military is rapidly becoming useless, we could not do much even if we wanted to, and we dont.
Ya.......but look at how much shit I take for my view that China will most certainly continue to kick our ass..... in part because America is now a deeply corrupt dysfunctional place, in part because our leaders have betrayed us, and in part because all of the West is dying.
Conservatives in particular can not process, they revert to their fantasy that America is still awesome.
well America IS awesome but the gap has narrowed considerably.
So its worth China's wild to put the weakest person in power here to make sure we dont even try to stop them from doing whatever they want.
Oh, and while they're at it, weaponize some bat virus to kill off population worldwide (Africa not so much) to reduce the strain on the supply of food n water.
And get Fauci to pay for it....
That Xi definitely has a plan
well there might be more to it then just analysis, but that list is pretty extensive so the INTEL freaks aren't really saying much
Biden still is saying China is a "competitor" while Russia is the "biggest threat"
He's an old man and old cold warrior..
But he's also corrupt if you look at the set ups Hunter did with that Chinese energy company
anyways..Xi knows Biden is weak sauce
