@vk_sterling @isaacstonefish I forgot who said it, but the saying was that "China wants two things - Freedom from Coercion and Freedom of Action. Unfortunately for China's neighbors in practice that looks like Freedom to Coerce them."

@isaacstonefish “That is intensely destabilizing” Why? It’s long past time for America to accept that it’s not the only big dog on the block anymore.

Stop saying that Xi wants stability. He doesn't want stability, he wants to increase China's power globally. That is intensely destabilizing. You can love China or hate it, you can feel like the Chinese Communist Party is good for the world or bad: stability in U.S.-China relations does not help Xi Jinping accomplish his international goals. Why do people keep making this mistake? Because they keep taking Xi Jinping's remarks at face value. It's a mistake journalists don't make nearly as often with politicians, but somehow, they decide that Xi communicates what he actually means.

@PLMattis @SpecialReport Interesting statement. Where can I read more about this?

Presenting Zhou Bo as a former senior military officer without further identification is another travesty in how we describe interlocutors in the PRC, @FoxNews @SpecialReport Zhou spent a career military intelligence and foreign-facing "barbarian handler" roles. Interviewing him without explaining his past is misleading. Just because the mistake is common (and sometimes intentional) doesn't make it right.
