    Chinese propaganda by… Al Jazeera?

    It’s an opinion article from Jim Laurie, so yes. Fox News publishes opinion articles from Bernie Sanders, that doesn’t mean Fox News agrees with him.

    And besides, do you think that the US isn’t trying to flex any power in Asia?

    Holy galloping goalposts, Batman!

    he’s a board member on at least a couple of think tanks now.

    Oh shit, he’s a member of some of America’s thousand foreign policy think tanks? My bad; clearly he dictates US Asia policy then.

      The goalposts are exactly where they started. You’re defending America wanting world domination (“systemic primacy”), I’m saying that’s a pretty evil thing to want, especially for a nation who’s policy has been might makes right for at least 7 decades now.

      P.S., you should probably read up a bit on the RAND corporation and CFR if you think they are “some of America’s thousand foreign policy think tanks”, and you may also want to reevaluate calling executive committee membership and senior fellowship as being “a member”.
