The New Realist Balancing Option in Asia
*Todd Royal* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The coronavirus pandemic brings choices to the forefront—battle lines in the Indo-Pacific being drawn—or the Japanese playing a leading role balancing China, India, and the United States in the largest geopolitical contest thus far in this century. Chinese leadership within Beijing did not believe the coronavirus was a threat or a top priority until January 20, 2020—“the day Chinese authorities acknowledged person-to-person transmission,” according to the U.S. Congress Research Service (CRS).

The Pakistan Factor in the India-China Standoff
*Michael Kugelman* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Even though the extent of China’s moves along the border remain fuzzy, it’s clear that Beijing is putting heavy military pressure on India and its territorial claims.

For several weeks, India and China have been mired in a border standoff in the Himalayan region of Ladakh. Much ink has been spilled about this crisis, but one question that hasn’t often been addressed is what it means for Pakistan—In... more »

Coronavirus Doesn't Have to Doom America to a "Lost Generation"
*James Pethokoukis* *Politics, Americas* Whatever problems America has, growth that’s slow and stagnant will surely exacerbate them. Is America headed toward a “lost decade”?

That projection suggests it will take a long time for the US economy to fully recover from the coronavirus pandemic. Weaker consumer spending and business investment will take 3 percent off the gross domestic product 10 years from now. That works out to a cumulative $16 trillion, or $7.9 trillion a... more »

Protestors stand across from police officers in riot gear near the White House during protests of George Floyd's killing. (Credit: Matt Kahn) The protests ignited by the killing of George Floyd have put a spotlight on the legal doctrine of qualified immunity.

"Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn't have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world.

For Carl Sagan, it was about our significant insignificance in the cosmos; for Annie Dillard, about inhabiting impermanence; for Anaïs Nin, about living and relating to others “as if t... more »
