@ChairmanRabbit This is in my book, where I talk about the asymmetry of knowledge and where the Italian public can also find your words regarding this :)

Sun Tzu said: "If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." If you know nothing about your rivals, you are bound to lose every competition. For China, the West’s sheer ignorance of China creates a massive information asymmetry that works overwhelmingly in China’s favor. And the level of information asymmetry is growing by the day.

Yes an important dialogue for all Americans to listen about future direction of policies

Oh my stars! President Trump has fallen into the evil CCP's "trap" by using the same framing language for the U.S.-China relationship! "Constructive"? Oh my! Strategic stability? Heaven forfend!

Cosa ne pensa la Cina?, con Simone Pieranni ilpost.link/i62Ksp0XlL

In Lo specchio americano (Mondadori, 2026) Simone Pieranni racconta come intellettuali e scrittori cinesi abbiano prima imitato e poi rifiutato il modello Usa, riflettendo una Cina che non si percepisce più inferiore Ecco un estratto: china-files.com/lo-specchio-am…

Qui sotto trovate una mia intervista a Vertigine Crime (grazie!): su come crime e “esteri” possano convivere all’interno di una narrazione (sia nei podcast, sia nei libri) e su come, in generale, provare a raccontare gli esteri. vertiginecrime.substack.com/p/se-il-raccon…

Mentre l’Occidente etichettava la Cina, la Cina prendeva appunti sull’America. Da qui prende le mosse "Lo specchio americano. Lo sguardo della Cina sugli Stati Uniti" @Mondadori di @simopieranni. La recensione è a cura di @Laurettal88: pandorarivista.it/articoli/lo-sp…

Trump sostiene che Pechino abbia contribuito a convincere Teheran al cessate il fuoco. Per Xi Jinping si tratta di un successo d’immagine, in vista del summit di metà maggio col presidente americano. Ma la Cina non vuole il ruolo di garante della tregua china-files.com/il-ruolo-della…

Excited to publish a @nytimes guest essay with my @AsiaPolicy colleague Jing Qian arguing that more U.S. officials should visit China. Seeing the country’s industrial strength up close would sharpen Washington’s sense of just how formidable a competitor it is and, ideally, spur more lawmakers to take restoring American competitiveness at home seriously. "Washington needs to restore regular travel by American policymakers to China, which dropped sharply in recent years, just as the economic and geopolitical competition between the two countries has intensified. No American president has set foot in China since Mr. Trump did in 2017, during his first term. That absence highlights a simple but troubling truth: Americans talk incessantly about the need to compete with their country’s greatest rival and how to do it. Yet many U.S. policymakers have never been to China. U.S. officials are left grappling with an abstraction. This can lead to serious misjudgments, such as the escalating tariffs Mr. Trump imposed last year, expecting they would bring China to its knees. In the end, he retreated after Beijing showed it had the tools and capacity to push back. Seeing China up close — its manufacturing juggernaut, technological and innovative capacities, state-of-the-art infrastructure and state-fostered industrial ecosystems — would help prevent such miscalculations and hopefully lead to U.S. policy that is less complacent, less theatrical and more focused on what’s actually needed to revitalize American industry. ... Restoring regular travel to China will be neither simple nor risk-free. But the greater strategic danger lies in American policies that are based on stale assumptions, secondhand impressions and an incomplete understanding of what China is building."
