China has a fateful choice to make
The Ukraine war, Covid, and the real estate bust herald a crossroads for the world's biggest nation.
Noah Smith,
2022
Recommendation
China is in a bind: Internationally, its support for Russia in the Ukraine invasion has put Beijing at odds with the West and may expose it to secondary sanctions. Domestically, regulatory crackdowns, a real estate slump and zero-COVID policies are damaging economic growth. Financial journalist Noah Smith ties China’s responses to these crises to President Xi Jinping’s ambition to create a new world order, providing an engrossing take on the political realities driving the Chinese leader.
