Andrew's January 2022 Newsletter

(My quarterly Newsletter goes out to some 8,500 professional contacts worldwide. The following is my January 2022 issue. Back numbers may be accessed under What's New on my website) 

Greetings! May I first wish you a promising and rewarding 2022, pandemics notwithstanding! 
 
From a trade and tech war, US bipartisan pushback against China is morphing into a clash of civilizations. Along with close Western allies, the United States is doubling down on demonizing China at every turn, imposing sanctions, denying access to markets and technologies, expanding provocative "Freedom of Navigation Operations" in the South China Sea, employing "salami slicing" tactics to advance Taiwan's de facto independence, and calling for a "diplomatic boycott" of China's Winter Olympics. All the while, the US expects China to open up more of its markets, cooperate on Climate Change, North Korea, Iran and Afghanistan, in short to bow in all to US-defined rules and objectives. All these are opening up "century of humiliation" wounds of a more globally-influential, technologically-savvy, militarily-advanced, and ideologically-self-assured China under President Xi. 
 
Attitude is no strategy. Unsurprisingly, the US tactic of maximum coercion doesn't appear to have yielded fruitful results, not to mention broken global supply and value chains, and rising domestic inflation. "Strategic miscalculations" abound, forgetting that politics remains the art of the possible. This is especially true with a peer competitor set to become the world's largest economy within a decade, one on which 128 of 190 countries worldwide depend as their largest trading partner, and one with a completely different ideology, culture and ancient civilization. 
 
The following may hopefully offer some fresh perspectives.

Andrew's October 2021 Newsletter

(My quarterly Newsletter goes out to some 8,500 professional contacts worldwide. The following is my October 2021 issue. Back numbers may be accessed under What's New on my website) 

Greetings!
 
President Biden has retreated from a "forever war" in Afghanistan to concentrate minds on China, leaving new geopolitical space for China and Russia in Eurasia and the Arab Peninsula. Notwithstanding a high-profile "hostage exchange" with Beijing, the United States is doubling down on confronting China in the Asia Pacific. Witness the AUKUS (Australia-UK-US) nuclear-powered-submarine alliance, completing the China-encirclement with military assets in the "First and Second Island Chains" (Okinawa and Guam). This augments other coercive capabilities, including sanctions, tariffs, decoupling, and access denial of frontier technologies, not to mention anti-China narratives and tactics on human rights and democracy. 
 
China is being seen as an existential disruptor of the extant world order dominated by the United States. It begs the question how the West would be able to coexist and where needed, share power with a self-assured, ideologically different China on an equal footing. It also calls into question whether obsession with military and coercive tactics would be barking up the wrong tree, especially when China may become the world's largest economy sooner than expected. 
 
During this global power transition, different dynamics in multiple theatres, arenas and regions are at play. The following may hopefully help with some fresh perspectives. 
 
China

World Order

End of an Empire

Whether American hegemony and exceptionalism are at an end remains debatable. Meanwhile, an Indian journalist paints an interesting picture of what he perceives as signifying the end of an "American Empire".
