Opinion - Xi’s ¨putinization¨ of China is a massive wake-up for America
Xi Jinping’s recent bid to become president of China and party secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for as long as he wishes should come as no surprise. Indeed, this was the next logical move for the Chinese strongman who has spent the last six year purging enemies, accumulating political power and recentralizing economic and national security policymaking. Xi is an ardent admirer of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and is emulating many of Putin’s political and national security strategies.

Sino-U.S. Competition and U.S. Security: How Do We Assess the Military Balance?
Assessments of the military competition between China and the U.S. are badly needed but mostly missing. Such assessments should consider the political objectives of the competitors, their military doctrines, and alliance politics, in addition to quantitative measures of military power in the context in which such capabilities would be deployed. Clashing political and military objectives will define the rivalry between the U.S. and China. For the U.S., the most important characteristics of the rivalry are those that impinge on Washington's ability to defend its interests in the world's most important region. These interests include protecting the U.S. homeland, preventing the emergence of a hostile hegemon in Asia, encouraging continued liberal economic and political reforms, and preserving the global commons. These goals must be assessed against China's growing ability to coerce U.S. allies, interdict U.S. forces, and cut off U.S. access to parts of the global commons in possible pursuit of regional hegemony. Considered in these terms, the United States may not have the overwhelming advantage it may assume.

Will Asia Save Obama?
The criticisms of President Obama that seem to have the most resonance with broad swaths of the American electorate and the center-right commentariat is as follows: Obama has too much faith in the state to guide the economy; he is equivocal about free trade and free markets; he is ambivalent about the idea that America is an exceptional nation that has played an exceptional role in the world; he has internalized the "Hyde Park" or professoriate value system that believes that a president must apologize for a sinful America's past support for "right wing colonial powers" in the name of anti-communism; he is uncomfortable with the military and military power.

Fear and Loathing in Asia
At the April 2005 “Shangri-La” conference in Singapore, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was in typically blunt form. “Since no nation threatens China, one wonders: Why this growing investment?” Rumsfeld asked the assembled conference participants.
