My book on China's coercion is officially out with @CUP_PoliSci in digital and hardcopy formats. It argues that China uses coercion to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" but is also constrained by economic and geo costs. Econ interdependence constrains & enables China.

Scholars of China’s IR and China's domestic politics are largely two separate groups. But it is impossible to make sense of China’s IR/FP without understanding its domestic politics, and vice versa. Hopefully there will be more fruitful interactions in the future.

@mchorowitz @shifrinson @dmedelstein @dandrezner although I do think that prior works by Tom Christensen (e.g., posting problems w/o catching up) and Avery Goldstein (re: escalation) actually do tackle the latter. I also think that scaling down/accepting certain loss of interests might not help, and may embolden China more?

Wonder, though, how effective this technological "ganchao" will be. As @Mauro_Gilli and @aa_gilli argue in their @Journal_IS article, it is difficult to engage in mil reverse engineering, including China.

A reminder that the Party picks its battles. This entrance to Asia’s largest housing estate, Tiantongyuan in Beijing, saw residents tear down a blue steel lockdown fence. Today, it’s open. Extra 大白around but calm and residents said free vegetables were distributed last night.

China rarely picks fights with states which have economic leverage over it and prefers to use non-military coercion when the geopolitical cost is high.
