Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party, along with the establishment wing of the Republican Party, which allied itself with Harris, live in their own non-reality-based belief system. Harris, who was anointed by party elites and never received a single primary vote, proudly… https://t.co/HmY1AjCEK0

Understanding why China doesn’t have western-like hegemonic aspirations @RnaudBertrand

The best explanation I've ever listened to as to why the "Thucydides trap" doesn't apply when it comes to China, and why China doesn't have Western-like hegemonic aspirations.
