Must read. Crucial for the next 30 years: "China is no partner to the United States. A difficult, but necessary, separation lies ahead." https://www.the-american-interest.com/2020/04/08/the-long-hard-road-to-decoupling-from-china/

This is crucial strategic analysis: The end of "globalization" is at hand.

The risks were ignored. Now they're on florid, terrible display.

As Michta notes, Thomas Friedman's "Flat World" barely-quasi-thesis is exposed as a terribly insecure, harmful national strategy - for almost every country.

As I wrote almost a decade ago, the Davos™-approved Super Flat World is theoretically haphazard in design and utterly unlivable in practice.

The reality turns out to be even worse. https://www.ericgarland.co/2011/06/20/tom-friedmans-extra-flat-super-creative-totally-unlivable-world/

After seeing Tom Friedman give a keynote in person, I am convinced that he doesn't know about the world, or flatness, or anything.
