☆ China Has No Options Left on Taiwan Except Military Action - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-01-17 | by ( Michael Beckley | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
), which asserts that Taiwan is already independent from China and should stay that way, an unprecedented third consecutive presidential victory. Determined to maintain their autonomy, the people of Taiwan are drifting further from China and won’t come back voluntarily, elevating military action as one of the only options left for China to effect the unification with Taiwan that it has long sought. government lost a civil war against Communist Chinese forces and fled to Taiwan, dividing the two sides. In 1994, more Taiwanese considered themselves exclusively Chinese than Taiwanese, and more favored moving toward unification with China than toward independence. As a result, President Xi Jinping of China has increasingly turned to wielding the stick — economic coercion, military threats and an online disinformation campaign in Taiwan — to pressure the island's people into unification.

☆ Peak China may pose peak danger

For example, last week it installed a floating barrier by a rocky outcrop in the South China Sea claimed by the Philippines - which Manila promptly removed. A war between the United States and China still seems unlikely - because both sides know that the economic and human costs of a clash could be catastrophic. The United States and its Western allies are also worried that China could browbeat Japan and South Korea, two nations economically important to them. Meanwhile, the United States and other allies are imposing controls on the export of technology such as advanced chips to the People’s Republic. What’s more, the United States is finding it hard to maintain an emollient message.

☆ ‘Peak China’ (Post-Dynasty Version)
  + stars: | 2023-08-18 | by ( Ephrat Livni | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
“Peak China” refers to the hotly debated concept that China has reached the height of its economic power. Michael Beckley, head of the Asia Program at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, believes he coined the term in a 2018 article that argued China’s economy, the world’s second largest, would not necessarily overtake the U.S. economy, as many had long projected. He said he had been inspired by “peak oil.”

☆ Xi, Putin and the Danger of Aging Dictators - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-08-15 | by ( Michael Beckley | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are both 70 years old, which offers a ray of hope for those worried about their aggressive efforts to remake the world order. As Mr. Putin’s misadventure in Ukraine has made clear, autocratic leaders don’t always peacefully fade away. Aging dictators have less time to reshape the world — and more memories of being obeyed at home and dissed abroad for their conduct. In his first few years in power in China, Mao Zedong envisioned that his plans to overtake the capitalist powers could take 50 to 75 years. From 1966 to 1976, the aging Mao’s last-ditch effort to safeguard his rule and legacy resulted in the chaos of the Cultural Revolution.

☆ ChatGPT was an 'oh crap' moment for hundreds of CEOs

ChatGPT was an 'oh crap' moment for every CEO. Bosses of everything from travel firms to online florists showed off hastily built ChatGPT plug-ins. For much of corporate America right now, there's the world before ChatGPT, and the world after. Beckley was trying to enjoy the remainder of his Thanksgiving holiday when AI startup OpenAI dropped ChatGPT to the public on November 30. In 2022, the startup was reportedly heavily loss-making due to the costs of creating and running ChatGPT.

☆ The Coming War Over Taiwan
  + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( Hal Brands | Michael Beckley | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The U.S. is running out of time to prevent a cataclysmic war in the Western Pacific. While the world has been focused on Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, Xi Jinping appears to be preparing for an even more consequential onslaught against Taiwan. Mr. Xi’s China is fueled by a dangerous mix of strength and weakness: Faced with profound economic, demographic and strategic problems, it will be tempted to use its burgeoning military power to transform the existing order while it still has the opportunity. This peaking-power syndrome—the tendency for rising states to become more aggressive as they become more fearful of impending decline—has caused some of the bloodiest wars in history. Unless the U.S. and its allies act quickly, it could trigger a conflict that would make the war in Ukraine look minor by comparison.
