China's New Alliance Approach Is Beginning to Work

I think we should watch carefully how things evolve over the coming months looking ahead to the Winter Olympics in Beijing next year. There's a new ambassador in Washington, who has a distinctly different style from his predecessor. They know that this reduces their room for maneuver quite significantly. If I was Xi Jinping, I wouldn't trust Vladimir Putin further than I could throw him. Nothing would be better than for the US and China to fight a big war and inflict significant damage on one another. So yeah, my advice to the Biden administration is Keep on working on this diplomatic theme.
