Good insights into what might be happening inside the CCP in run-up to next year’s party congress. Long read, but @JosephTorigian is worth listening to.

Was extremely happy to go on the @BrookingsChina podcast with @jonczin and @ryanl_hass, two of my favorite voices on China and also just really good guys. But it's their fault I went into so many intricacies of ancient party history (remember He Long?)

In @ForeignAffairs I explained why China does NOT want to replace the dollar system with RMB but want to have the RMB be the Pepsi to the dollar's Coca Cola. China may do so across 5 stages of crossborder transactions. Let me know if you agree / disagree!
