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

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

Conversely, those who reject the Cold War analogy tend to downplay the ideological dimension of our confrontation with the PRC. It's real. It will be with us for a long time. & Chinese growing power is also real (though still well behind US power). Both power & regimes matter. 9/ — PolitiTweet.org
