“Only China is an arguable peer of the United States, only China’s technological and industrial might can hope to match our own, and only China has the capacity to project power globally as well as regionally.”

“China offers a somewhat coherent ideological alternative to the liberal-democratic order.”

“China’s one-party meritocracy can advertise itself (…) as a successor to democratic capitalism, an alternative model for the developing world.”

“The establishment of Chinese military pre-eminence in East Asia would be a unique geopolitical shock, with dire effects on the viability of America’s alliance systems (…) and on our ability to maintain the global trading system that undergirds our prosperity at home.”

    When you post archive.today links, 1) I get sent to CAPTCHA infinite loop jail and 2) I have no way of knowing what the original link was, which is ironic because 3) my browser extension would have bypassed the soft paywall automatically anyway. (And no I’m not on a VPN, so that’s not the reason it happens to me.)

      Hmm, I wonder if this is a common thing. Maybe I should use the direct link in future and put the archive link in the comments? Or the other way around?

      archive.today guy blocks visits from people who use Cloudflare DNS as they don’t send the EDNS client subnet, ironically he himself uses Cloudflare for the website.

        Thanks. I’ve confirmed that my ISP is outsourcing its DNS to Cloudflare.
