🚗⚡ New in @science.org: My piece on why the U.S. needs to rethink its approach to China's electric vehicle industry (and what's at stake if it doesn’t).

The competitive gap is bigger than you think. Thread 🧵

Delighted to have a new article out with @ibkardon.bsky.social in International Security.

The recording of the launch of the SAIS Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs is now available! In these times, I’m especially proud of the rigor, humility, civility, and creativity that infused the day’s discussions. Watch: youtu.be/C7UgNvXpi7Y

I appeared in wbur radio show (also part of npr podcast) called “On Point” to discuss what happened in South Korea. The show describes the event, background, and the past quite well if you are curious about the bigger picture. @johnskuk.bsky.social was there too!

Bravo! The South Korean people: "We are NOT going back!" Democracy can be either fragile or resilient, depending on the people.

A few more thoughts on Trump and the dollar. Probably this is sound and fury, signifying nothing except Trump's ignorance. But to the extent it matters, it's utterly counterproductive 1/
