Máxima emoción. ‘Los primeros días’ es mi libro sobre el estallido de la pandemia en Wuhan. Un intento de poner palabras a ese increíble, terrorífico momento en que el mundo cambia de improviso. En librerías el 26 de enero, ya en la web de @Altamarea_Ed ↓ altamarea.es/producto/los-p…

La guerra en Irán desde China: una crisis «llena de oportunidades». El país sufre menos que sus vecinos por el bloqueo energético ante un conflicto le permite «fortalecer su posición global». En @abc_es hablamos con destacados expertos chinos para recabar su perspectiva.

Q: "Why didn't you tell U.S. allies…about the war before attacking Iran?" President Trump: "We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

En ‘El Periódico’ he respondido con hechos a un ataque personal que cruza una línea: cuestionar el derecho a preguntar. No es una polémica, es una defensa del periodismo. Si se intenta convertir una pregunta en una agenda política, lo que está en juego no es un periodista, es el oficio en sí mismo. elperiodico.com/es/entre-todos…

Renovamos la enseñanza del periodismo. El próximo curso, en @fcomunav estrenamos un nuevo grado de Periodismo que da un verdadero meneo a todo lo que se ha hecho hasta ahora. Atentos.

@rsalaverria @fcomunav Brillante el eslogan. Ánimo con esas reformas, Ramón. ¡Abrazos!

Aunque, puestos a barruntar, mejor que lo haga ella. El bueno de @brunopardoo la entrevista, también en @abc_es. "La pregunta que late en el fondo es si debemos vivir y la respuesta es que sí, que hay que abrazar la vida con todas nuestras fuerzas". abc.es/cultura/libros…

Acaba de salir publicada 'Tinta y sangre' (@randomhouse_es), la última novela traducida al español de Han Kang. La premio Nobel surcoreana despliega en esta obra todo su lirismo sin desdeñar un sólido eje narrativo. Mi lectura para @abc_es: abc.es/cultura/cultur…

Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria is one of the smartest commentators in American foreign policy, and that's precisely why his latest take on Iran should be dissected. 🔴 He concurs that America is replicating Britain's imperial error by getting sucked into Middle Eastern "periphery", while China quietly eats the future. It's a brilliant piece of reasoning, steeped in history and geopolitics. It's also completely wrong. 🔴 And it's wrong precisely because of the British analogy that Zakaria uses to make his point. The British Empire didn't decline because it overextended itself in periphery wars in the Middle East and Asia. It declined because it underestimated Germany, the revolutionary power rising up from its own periphery, until it was almost too late. The correct lesson is that Iran should have been attacked even sooner! 🔴 Iran is not periphery. Iran controls access to the Strait of Hormuz, as current events show. Iran, until few months ago, dominated four Arab capitals. It is at nuclear breakout point and is the primary force multiplier for both Russian and Chinese. This is not a distraction, it's a category error masked as geopolitical sophistication. 🔴 Furthermore, Iran and China are not mutually exclusive. Gulf energy flows through Hormuz, and China's plans to price oil in yuan flow through Gulf relations. A nuclear Iran is structurally a China friendly Middle East. Accordingly, taking down Iranian power is, in fact, partly about competing with China. 🔴 Innovation is where Zakaria's argument is pure intellectual posturing. All frontier AI models are American. The GPU supply chain is dominated by Nvidia. The EUV chip printing equipment that is denied to China is American in design. China will not get a cutting edge chip without American permission. 🔴 Covid vaccine alone is a fact that settles this debate. mRNA vaccine technology took from conception to vaccine in less than 12 months, the fastest pharmaceutical rollout in human history. China's Sinovac vaccine is a traditional inactivated virus vaccine and is significantly less effective. Not by a little. Not by a lot. Generational. 🔴 Alliance credibility is the real competition with China. If Washington is signaling that their commitments are conditional, retreating in one place to focus in another, what Beijing, Taipei, and Seoul hear is not "America is strategically focused." They hear: "American security guarantees are negotiable." Deterrence in the Taiwan Strait is not broken. It breaks when allies start doing that math. 🔴 And now for the number that blows apart the entire "America is overextending itself" narrative. The 1920 Iraqi Rebellion cost Britain £40 million, or 0.6% of British GDP. And this was just one rebellion, one territory, over three months. The first 12 days of Operation Epic Fury cost $16.5 billion, a 0.057% of American GDP. One tenth of Britain's burden for a far more strategically important region. 🔴 And even in the worst case scenario, where we were projecting at maximum burn rate for an entire year, which is not going to happen, and multiplying it by 100% just to be pessimistic, even then we get a number that is only 1.26% of the total GDP of the United States, which is what Britain spent just to maintain their normal garrisons in peacetime. Britain was being bled, and the US is rounding an error. 🔴 Zakaria's "Britain as cautionary tale" construct has become the standard language for American passivity. A way to sound historically informed while arguing for strategic passivity. The actual lesson of hegemonic change is not that empires fall because they overextend themselves. It is that empires fall when they misunderstand which threat is existential. 🔴 Grand strategy is about prioritization, as Zakaria argues. Zakaria just gets it wrong as to what is finite and what is peripheral. Iran with a nuclear weapon and a web of proxies is not a peripheral issue in the 21st century. It is the 21st century.

Some fuel price boards in Manila clearly not designed for prices soaring to 3 digit amounts per liter.

Hoy se cumplen 15 años de la triple catástrofe que ha marcado la historia moderna de Japón: un terremoto, un tsunami y un desastre nuclear. Visitamos Namie, uno de los pueblos evacuados por la radiación dada su cercanía a la central de Fukushima, convertido en un lugar fantasma.
