Kotkin is a scholar of Russia and the Soviet Union. Most famous for his three-part (only two are published so far) biography of Stalin.
In this interview, he turns his attention to China.
There are a lot of interesting points made here.
“There are two subjects at Party School that are absolutely dominant in the Chinese case. One is the supposed decline of the United States … But the other big subject — in fact, it’s an even bigger subject for them — is not having a Soviet collapse in China“
Interesting to read this together with Dalio’s latest on the US v. China.
