US - China relations

China Not Committed to 2027 Taiwan Invasion, U.S. Intel Report Says​

• China’s Xi and Trump agreed to build a “constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability.”
• China’s door to opening up will only open wider, Xi said.
• China expressed interest in purchasing more U.S. oil to wean off its reliance on Middle Eastern crude.
• Xi reserved his sharpest language for Taiwan, calling it “the most important issue” in the bilateral relationship.

• U.S. President Donald Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday and Friday.
• The trip has gone a long way toward strengthening a fragile trade truce reached in October.
• However, the two sides have yet to announce many specific agreements.

Underwhelming summit outcome in China brings Trump back to reality​

After raising high expectations ahead of his trip to Beijing, the U.S. president leaves with little to show for it, disappointing investors. On key flashpoints such as Iran and Taiwan, China didn't give any ground.​

The China Hustle​

Alex Krainer: It’s Starting: Massive Shifts Hit the Middle East & Europe​

This is an extraordinary document written by the research arm of China's spy agency (the powerful MSS, basically the CIA and the FBI all wrapped in one) that absolutely zero media has picked up on.

As far as I can see, I'm the first person to write about it even though it was published (in Chinese) on May 13th on http://chinadiplomacy.org.cn
, a website of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The document contains perhaps the most authoritative description of where China thinks its relationship with the U.S. stands, and where it’s headed.

The title of the report is “The Great Global Transformation and the Path to U.S.–China Coexistence” and I provide a full translation of it in my article, the link of which is at the bottom of this post.

To summarize briefly the most important - and, perhaps, surprising - aspect of the document: China's spy agency - the one institution whose entire job is to worry about the U.S. threat - has largely stopped worrying.

That's really what transpires from the document. They use a strategic framework borrowed from Mao's "protracted war" theory and, according to this framework, America's offensive phase is finished and China weathered the storm intact.

The question is no longer "how do we survive America?" but "how do we manage America?" - and they're proposing a six-step relationship recovery program.

I'll let you read the full document as well as my analysis of it here:
