I can’t believe I’m holding this! It’s the completion of a six-year project that really spans my adult life — and 80 years of Chinese history, from Mao to Xi. I tell the story of modern China through a dramatic family saga and contemporary reporting. Learn more and order here: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/602734/a…

NEW: Trump's trip to China and wooing of Xi Jinping has raised concerns in India. Trump had already wrecked US-India ties with tariffs — setting back decades of US policy — after Modi refused to help him get a Nobel Peace Prize. Now Rubio tries to repair relations on a visit.

Some meetings leave an impression; ours apparently left a fragrance. Thank you, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, for your generosity and for topping up this precious gift. May the spirit of that meeting continue to shape a stronger relationship between Syria and the United States.

NEW: Rubio spent years in the Senate criticizing China for its human rights record and security activities. But he now emphasizes seeking "cooperation" with China — changing his tone to align with Trump. In Beijing, he marveled while inside a meeting hall of Communist leaders.

Beijing was crawling with US journalists this week thanks to the state visit— like the good old days. The number is otherwise artificially low & that’s not good for US-China relations. “Constructive strategic stability” needs a well informed American public.

Trump to Hannity on supporting international students in US from China (not elsewhere apparently): "It's a very insulting thing to tell a country we don't want your people in our schools."

Over 100 U.S. ambassador posts around the world are sitting empty in the Trump administration, a vacancy rate without modern precedent and one that some current and former officials warn is hamstringing U.S. diplomatic power abroad. @RobbieGramer wsj.com/politics/polic…

@nytimes Nixon and Kissinger’s aim was to exploit the Sino-Soviet split and persuade China to become a strategic partner to balance against the USSR. Later American presidents emphasized the benefits of trade and believed in the prospect of political change in Beijing.

NEW: Trump's summit with Xi is the latest in a half-century of leadership meetings that built on a gamble by Nixon: trade and diplomacy with China were good for US interests, and would push Beijing toward political change. Now, some Chinese officials see an America in decline.

@EvanFeigenbaum That’s right. The story makes clear that Nixon and Kissinger’s aim was to persuade China to become a strategic partner to balance against the USSR. Later American presidents emphasized the benefits of trade and believed in the prospect of political change in Beijing.
