How Xi Jinping scored domestically by playing down his summit with Biden
Cambridge, Mass. - Opinions are divided over the U.S.-China virtual summit held on Nov. 15. Pessimists view that the bilateral conflict and standoff have only become more explicit. Optimists think it was good that both sides chose dialogue over confrontation, by agreeing to hold an overdue summit. My view is that both the U.S. and China met out of their own necessity.

Is Biden team winning narrative competition with China?
Cambridge, MA - On Sept. 14, China's Global Times ran an editorial, titled, "Why the U.S. is afraid to go to war with China?" The title's argument increasingly resonates with many Asians' perspective on the current U.S.-China rivalry.

Chinese perspective on Moon Jae-in: THAAD and inconsistent messaging
With President Moon Jae-in's term winding down, and with Seoul and Beijing's relationship to mark their 30th anniversary next year, now may be an appropriate time to pause and ask some questions about the quality of Moon's diplomatic outreach to China - from the Chinese perspective.

Taiwan, tinderbox in the US-China conflict
Last year, many South Korean security experts pointed out the two geopolitical hot spots, the South China Sea and Taiwan, as having the largest potential to ignite a military conflagration. This year, they - without hesitation - point to Taiwan as their first choice, while sparingly mentioning the South China Sea.

What would God do to Evergrande?
Cambridge, MA - It is a time-honored tactic of China watchers to compare the Chinese Communist Party to Christianity's God for their similarities, such as: their absolute demand for loyalty, their ubiquitous presence and their “all-knowing” ability. The fact that some experts are still debating the eventual fate of China's troubled conglomerate, Evergrande (“hengda” in Chinese), may be an indication that we may have wandered away from the path to God. It's time for China watchers metaphorically to repent and to return to God's way.

US keeps China in check, China keeps US allies in check
Cambridge, MA - China's State Councilor Wang Yi is visiting South Korea this week. To be precise, it is one of the four countries he will be visiting (Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, and South Korea). Among them, Vietnam and Singapore were visited by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris last month, while Cambodia and South Korea were visited by Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman in June and July, respectively.

America's dilemma with Taiwan
The Global Times, the public opinion warfare tool under Chinese publication People's Daily, is at it again. In an Aug. 16 editorial titled "A Lesson for Taiwanese Authorities to Learn from Afghanistan," it said: "If there is an all-out war in the Taiwan Strait, U.S. reinforcements will not come."

US and China: The more they talk, the more different they realize they are
Although the U.S. and China are not on good terms, they have not stopped trying to communicate. After Joe Biden took office in January, he was on the phone with Xi Jinping in February - for two hours! In March, the two sides held a ministerial meeting in Alaska. Although the latter meeting became a crazy TV reality show that revealed U.S.-China discord to the world, in July, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi sat face-to-face in Tianjin, China. Recently, Qing Gang, the new Chinese ambassador to the U.S., has also flown to Washington.

Why didn't US approve of Korean Provisional Government?
Inside the museum of the Independence Hall of Korea, there is an old photo of men in uniforms, sitting in groups forming the English acronym, "KIA," which stands for the Korea Independence Army. KIA was established on Sept. 17, 1940, in the Chinese city of Chongqing (Chungking), by the Korean Provisional Government (KPG) during the 1910-45 Japanese colonial rule of Korea.

Xi Jinping's race against time
When it comes to analyzing China, there are usually three levels of approaches. One is to be mindful of China as a “Communist state” and to try to draw any meaningful conclusions from there. The second is to focus on China's factional politics, such as the “Princelings,” or the “Shanghai Gang,” or “Youth League Faction.” The third approach is to look at China's top leader.
