They also tend to overestimate Chinese power & purpose, a mistake we made in our assessments of the Soviets especially in the 1970s. Does China really have the capacity to rule the world? Is Xi really the heir to Stalin? I'm skeptical. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org

Containment also was a very elastic term that included everything from Nixon's detente to Reagan's rollback. To those advocating a return to Cold War tactics for dealing with China, do you mean Truman, Ike, Kennedy, Nixon, or Reagan? 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

And like our assessments of the USSR in the 1970s, we discount China's internal challenges at our peril. (Remember all those bipolar equilibrium theories from the 1970s like Waltz? Didn't look so robust in 1991) 8/ — PolitiTweet.org
