Comments - Macron is Macroning Again
1. I don’t agree that your second point means the US will moderate towards China meaningfully. During the Cold War, for instance, while, sure, there were fluctuations in attitude towards the USSR, they weren’t meaningful enough to an extent where any American administration was actually willing to embrace the USSR, much less call it an ally. Fluctuations could mean even more hardline approaches towards China.
And I have to admit that I haven’t read your writing on China much, but I do recall reading somewhere someone noting that China (really, Xi) is psychologically preparing the PRC populace for war with the US. I have not seen any evidence against that thesis and plenty to support it.
