Welcome to Litsy!

This is an interesting look at the shifting realities of our world, as China looks for interactions with other countries while the US and EU grow more isolationist. While it reads as a bit too much of a polemic about 45 (understandably, to a degree), it is nonetheless an important way of looking at our changing world, and a great read for #ReadingAsia2021. I‘m using this for #Turkmenistan, but it could be used for many countries.

Really rate this so far. Brilliant insight into the entire world. Using history to see the future.

An interesting adjunct to Frankopan‘s ‘The Silk Roads‘. I was disappointed with this book, which seemed to have been written in great haste, with virtually no editorial attention. He makes intriguing, convincing points, but lets his political prejudices (many of which I share) to intrude to a disruptive extent.
