In a piece for @ForeignAffairs’s website, @ryanl_hass and I argue that President Trump’s mishandling of China policy has paradoxically created political space for a new, more durable strategy to emerge.

It was a privilege to write this piece with you, @ryanl_hass, and I hope to collaborate again soon.
1/ Sharing a collaboration with @Ali_Wyne to support thinking around post-Trump China policy. We argue that America's policy pendulum swings on China have been counterproductive. A new approach grounded in national renewal and the mood of American public would be more effective.

“The goal for the next Congress and, eventually, Trump’s successor, should be to prioritize steady competence over performative toughness in dealing with China,” argue @Ali_Wyne and @ryanl_hass.

In today’s #MustRead, @Ali_Wyne and @ryanl_hass argue that the answer to Trump’s erratic China policy isn’t more hawkishness, but steady competition, stronger alliances, and room for diplomacy. ⬇️

2028 presidential aspirants will have an opportunity to present a steadier approach, articulating a clear focus on national renewal and a balanced posture towards Beijing that reflects the mood of the American public.

I’m grateful to @dankurtzphelan for the opportunity to make this argument and to Josh Freedman for his insightful feedback and meticulous edits.
Ryan and I hope that our piece can contribute to the current debate over China policy—one that’s likely to long endure.
