@doublingtime @aldatweets @laurimyllyvirta Thanks.

@aldatweets Oh leverage in Beijing is NOT the issue. That is an illusion we need to shed. Containing aggression of US policy towards China is the key issue.

This week Zambia became 1st African country to ask bondholders for relief since Corona crisis started. The government is seeking to defer interest payments of $120m on its $3 billion worth of Eurobonds until April. Angola, Chad & Kenya also under stress. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… https://t.co/gBWdu2CFRc

@aldatweets Hi Daniel fair enough. But where are the reactions from other folks you would expect to weigh in on this immediately? To my mind indicative of disconnect btw US GND camp & broader thinking about geopolitics and China in particular. But I am flogging a dead horse.

China’s surprise pledge to reach “carbon neutrality” before 2060 could cut global warming this century by 0.25C and raise the country’s GDP, our new analysis shows. carbonbrief.org/analysis-going… https://t.co/JRM5QeIgd1

One of traps of WWII analogy in thinking about GND is that we imagine US climate policy as decisive world historic force that US was in 1940. In fact, the closer analogy is that we are British Empire wondering whether FDR will help and Stalin will fight. ft.com/content/93a15a… https://t.co/PvIrSDzRhC

@arcymosiek @70sBachchan SURE … this is HUGE ask for China. The problem far greater for them than for us. There is terrible momentum and a vast battle to be fought within China’s energy system.

Im a bit baffled that Green New Deal world is not abuzz right now. We just got the 5-year plan counterpart that makes the GND meaningful. IF (BIG IF) Xi is not bluffing, the folks who actually matter just said they are determined to win this war for us. ft.com/content/e893f8… https://t.co/GJHbg9xhtH

If the stock market has been punishing financials, it has been really hard on regional banks in the US that are deeply exposed to local commercial real estate markets. And the pain is only just beginning! @hannahlevitt bloomberg.com/news/articles/… https://t.co/4RhJbKnS66

“Chinese policy wonks will go to Germany to understand how a just transition worked. But once you talk about the numbers [in Germany] — about 400k people — the Chinese start to laugh. They have to do that for millions of people every year.” @ClientEarth ft.com/content/e893f8… https://t.co/Bj8s2DHEzq

Is China’s pledge to carbon neutrality by 2060 "a game changer on a geopolitical level”? Is there anything that Xi could have done that would have sharpened Europe’s strategic dilemma more? A Trump victory now REALLY puts EU on rack! @70sBachchan ft.com/content/e893f8… https://t.co/tz1RzOZXf3

@poltheoryother The problem is whether you can credibly present an economic/fiscal recovery as equivalent to a war effort in which you do exactly that i.e. overcome fear for your loved ones in the name of patriotism. Not obvious that it works for jobs, GDP, budget deficits.

22-24 Sep 1906: Atlanta Massacre in which after newspaper allegations of rape, white mobs hunt down and kill at least 25 Black men and women, probably far more. Story became a global scandal. Here reported in French media. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta_M… https://t.co/rdfcx5XQiY
