Over the next few episodes, we are going to be focusing on the US-China rivalry and what it means for the world. In addition, we will try to bring to the forefront a diverse set of views on this rivalry and what key actors are concerned about and trying to do. To start things off, I spoke to Andrew Small on China's rise, what are the key things concerning countries in East Asia, and where he sees things going. Andrew Small is a senior transatlantic fellow with GMF's Indo-Pacific Program, which he established in 2006. His research focuses on U.S.–China relations, Europe–China relations, Chinese policy in South Asia, and broader developments in China's foreign and economic policy. He is the author of The Rupture: China and the Global Race for the Future, which was named one of the 2022 Financial Times Politics Books of the Year, and The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics. Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 1:50 China's rise and key concerns 10:00 Military escalation in East Asia 21:37 Assessing Washington's approach 32:10 Emerging markets, debt, and Chinese influence 40:20 What should South Asia pay attention to? 48:06 Reading recommendations

Today I talked to Andrew Small about his book No Limits: The Inside Story of China's War with the West (Melville House, 2022). Winston Churchill famously described Russia in 1939 as “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.” But as Andrew Small correctly argues here, China's path forward has often been laid out quite explicitly by its authoritarian leader Xi Jinping in speeches to the Community Party and elsewhere. The totality of those proclamations is that a real battle lies ahead, perhaps even in military terms. Will China continue to back Russia? Will China ultimately invade Taiwan? Why should Western companies be singularly allowed to decide whether to share their advanced technology with China? Where to draw the line between economic reward and risk in a global economy that is nevertheless splintering in significant ways. Those and more topics get covered here by a guest who is currently based in Berlin but has spent considerable amounts of time in Beijing. Andrew Small is a senior transatlantic fellow with the Asia program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. His previous book, The China-Pakistan Axis, received broad praise from the likes of the New York Review of Books, The Economist, and Foreign Affairs. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc. (https://www.sensorylogic.com).

Last week, China helped broker an agreement between long-feuding Saudi Arabia and Iran to begin the process of normalising their relations. Both the deal and China's role surprised many observers – especially in the West. So, how significant is the agreement, and what consequences will it have for the Middle East? To address this and other questions, Mark Leonard welcomes Julien Barnes-Dacey, director of ECFR's Middle East and North Africa programme; Cinzia Bianco, ECFR visiting fellow and Gulf expert; and Andrew Small, China expert and senior transatlantic fellow at the German Marshall Fund. Does this deal mean Beijing could play a constructive role in ending the war in Ukraine? Or should the United States be alarmed that China is encroaching on its traditional sphere of influence? This podcast was recorded on 22 March 2023.

Following a flurry of Chinese diplomatic efforts in Europe, culminating in a visit to the Munich Security Conference on 18 February by Wang Yi, the country's top diplomat,, Katie Stallard speaks to Andrew Small, a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund's Asia programme, about the future of European relations with Beijing. His latest book, No Limits: The Inside Story of China's War with the West, charts the revolution in Europe's China policy over the past five years, and how Beijing's assertive diplomacy and increasingly overt support for Russia's war against Ukraine has forced a political reckoning in European capitals.If you have a question for You Ask Us, go to newstatesman.com/youaskusPodcast listeners can subscribe to the New Statesman for just £1 a week for 12 weeks using our special offer: visit newstatesman.com/podcastoffer to learn more Read more: Katie on China's hollow peace plan for Ukraine Kate on how Xi Jinping views the world John Sullivan: “Vladimir Putin does not want an off-ramp” Hosted on Acast.

There is no doubt that the prevailing view of China in many European capitals has flipped from growing cooperation to feared confrontation. What happened? Did President Xi's hardening approaches—from wolf warrior diplomacy to his “No Limits” commitment to Russia, to lecturing Western leaders—shock European leaders? Did American pressure on 5G, Huawei and microchips force a strategic rethink? Can Europe actually afford to confront China? Andrew Small has answers. A deeply experienced policy analyst, Small is a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund, and recently published, "No Limits: The Inside Story of China's War with the West." That book and this conversation explain how and why he thinks that the Chinese challenge is dramatically and dangerously changing.

Za Vatikan je boj proti spolnim zlorabam v Katoliški cerkvi v obdobju papeža Frančiška najpomembnejše področje življenja in delovanja Cerkve. Lokalne Cerkve morajo v skladu z dokumenti papeža Frančiška vzpostaviti dvostopenjski sistem odkrivanja in pomoči žrtvam spolnih zlorab. Večina slovenskih škofov je po škofijah že ustanovila urade za sprejemanje in spremljanje žrtev spolnih zlorab, več kot leto dni pa škofje ne zmorejo ustanoviti neodvisne komisije za zaščito otrok na ravni Cerkve v Sloveniji. Obljubljajo, da jo bodo v nekaj mesecih, pri tem jih spodbuja tudi tajnik Papeške komisije za zaščito mladoletnih p. Andrew Small, ki se je pred dnevi udeležil plenarnega zasedanja Slovenske škofovske konference na temo zaščite otrok, mladostnikov in ranljivih odraslih ljudi v Cerkvi. Vatikan ugotavlja, da zdajšnja obravnava pedofilije v Cerkvi pri nas ni najboljša. Novomeški škof in predsednik Slovenske škofovske konference dr. Andrej Saje zagotavlja, da je cilj vzpostaviti transparentne postopke na področju odkrivanja spolnih zlorab otrok v Katoliški cerkvi v Sloveniji; medtem ko duhovnik Janez Cerar iz zavoda Dovolj je poziva škofe, naj ustanovitev komisije prestavijo iz prve v šesto prestavo.

The semiconductor industry has become the cornerstone of the structure of the global economy and the balance of geopolitical power. And Europe has now joined the United States and China in a ‘chip war' for global semiconductor domination. In this week's episode, Janka Oertel, head of ECFR´s Asia programme and senior policy fellow, is joined by Chris Miller, assistant professor of international history at Tufts University, and Andrew Small, senior transatlantic fellow at the German Marshall Fund and ECFR alumnus. They discuss how chips decide power in today's geopolitical competition. What role does Taiwan's leadership in semiconductor production play in tensions with China? And to what extent will Europe align and integrate with the United States' China policy in the upcoming years? This podcast was recorded on 16 November 2022.

JACK KLATT is a tireless troubadour from Minneapolis. He is a prolific writer known for writing in many styles and genres. He has used different style of American music including folk, blues, R&B, and arcane country to build his own style. His latest EP ‘Edge of the End' BILL & the BELLES is best known for combining ole-time string band with their signature harmonies, songwriting, and 1940-s style. Their delightfully deadpan new album, Happy Again, is full of ongue-in-cheek explorations of love and loss. Bill and the Belles is Kris Truelsen on guitar, fiddler Kalia Yeagle, banjo/banjo-uke player Aidan VanSuetendael, and bassist Andrew Small.

In The Rupture: China and the Global Race for the Future, China expert Andrew Small offers a kaleidoscopic picture of a rivalry ranging far beyond ‘great power' politics. He traces US efforts to recast relations with old allies, as Washington realises that it cannot confront China alone, charting Europe's growing role in the technological and economic contest, and Beijing's attempts to build a coalition of its own, from Moscow to Taliban-run Kabul. This is the inside story of a revolution in China policy, from Washington to Brussels, Berlin to New Delhi. The Rupture explains how many of the Western politicians, thinkers and business leaders closest to Beijing have become its sharpest opponents; how the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically accelerated this collective rethink; and why 5G represents the first test case as to whether China may win the battle for the future.

Last week Grant looked at the character of Peter, one of Jesus' disciples. This week he looks at Andrew, Peter's brother - you couldn't get two brothers who were so different from each other, and yet each has a great story of how they let God grow their character. Many of you related to Peter, many of you will relate to Andrew.

The collapse of Afghan government forces and the rapid seizure of power by the Taliban has unleashed a series of intense debates about the implications for Europe. How will the Western withdrawal impact on the state of European defence and military capabilities? Are we likely to see a shift in Europe's relationship with other powers - such as Turkey, China, and the United States? In this week's podcast, host Mark Leonard talks with Jeremy Shapiro, ECFR's research director, and senior policy fellows Asli Aydintaşbaş and Andrew Small about what the withdrawal of Western forces from Afghanistan means for Europe and the future of transatlantic relations.

Kris is an extremely vibrant, creative and passionate human being and his work reflects this. Kris, starting his creative journey in advertising, now works with all the big boys like Nike, Adidas and Apple just to name a few. During this conversation we hear about Kris growing up as a kid getting his start in creativity and being not the typical child creative prodigy that you might expect. Kris and I dive into how his reason to create stems from the injustices and his frustration around inequality. We also talk about paying your dues and being realistic about the long path to success often being lined with potholes and designing millions of Vodafone ads. We go through Kris's work ethic, his dealings with imposter syndrome and why trusting your instincts, not overthinking and speaking your mind, might just land your work, like it did for Kris, in the Louvre. We also get nitty gritty from things like Kris's morning routine and how he combats the often odd and unpredictable hours of being a freelance creative to how important it is to make investments into your work and sacrificing a few luxuries to reach your goals. Listen in as we try to remember scientific facts, quote the show Friends for the first time in the podcast's history and learn who Klaus is.

After two decades of military involvement in Afghanistan, the United States and NATO are withdrawing their forces, with potential implications for regional security and thus for Chinese interests. Some observers have suggested the U.S. withdrawal will create opportunities for China to fill the void, but in fact, Beijing is worried about the potential negative security and economic impact of the U.S. pull-out. China has several major investments in Afghanistan, including in the Aynak Copper Mine and in the Amu Darya Basin Oil Fields. The Taliban has said it would welcome Chinese investments and reconstruction, but the Taliban's rapidly growing influence has alarmed the Chinese government. An explosion that killed nine Chinese workers in Pakistan in mid-July, which Beijing has said was a terrorist attack, has further heightened Chinese fears of regional instability. Bonnie Glaser talks with Andrew Small about China's interests, strategy, and future role in Afghanistan on this episode of China Global. Andrew is a senior transatlantic fellow with GMF's Asia Program and author of The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics. His research focuses on U.S.-China relations, Europe-China relations, Chinese policy in South Asia, and broader developments in China's foreign and economic policy.

Andrew Small, partner at Russell Cooke, explains the Supreme Court decision in Rittson-Thomas and others v Oxfordshire County Council [2021] UKSC 13; [2021] PLSCS 78 - a hard-fought battle over the proceeds of sale of a former school site in Oxfordshire, donated long ago for educational use. Small looks at the key provisions of the School Site Act 1841, and how they continue to apply in the modern day to land donated for school use, in particular when schools are relocated. As well as describing how the case has seesawed through the courts, he analyses the definitive ruling of the Supreme Court - and goes on to consider how widespread its potential implications may be.

In May 2020, China announced its new economic strategy which aims at cutting the country’s dependence on overseas markets and technology in the long-term. This “dual circulation strategy” was yet another result of the deepening rift with the United States. But what does this new economic policy mean for Europe? Host Mark Leonard is joined by Janka Oertel, director of the Asia programme at ECFR as well as Andrew Small, senior transatlantic fellow with the Asia programme at the German Marshall Fund of the United States as well as associate senior policy fellow at ECFR. What lies behind China’s dual circulation strategy? How will the EU approach all of this? And are European policy-makers really prepared to deal with this new challenge coming from China?

One of the foreign policy priorities of US president Joe Biden is to work with allies on China. His administration reached out to the European Union ahead of his inauguration to make US intentions clear. However, so far, they have only been met with disappointment over the alacrity with which European leaders pushed forward the agenda of the comprehensive agreement on investment before Biden was even sworn in as president. What are the prospects for transatlantic cooperation on China now that a new US administration is in power? Has it ended before it has begun, or will we see a new Western approach to dealing with China’s rising power? This week, our host Mark Leonard is joined by Janka Oertel, head of ECFR’s Asia programme and Andrew Small, senior transatlantic fellow with the Asia programme at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and associate senior policy fellow at ECFR, to discuss the future of EU-China-US relations.

With a range of connectivity and infrastructure projects across Pakistan, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a crucial foothold for the PRC in South Asia and a gateway to the Indian Ocean. As China projects power beyond its borders and into Pakistan, what security and defence implications does it hold for India?

因为你少了这四个技巧。早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1470天。今天我们就来谈谈拍红叶的问题吧，因为这两天刚刚给一个企业做了有关红叶的摄影的讲座，我就顺便把其中的一些小知识点拿出来分享给大家。早自习时间有限，我们今天就谈一个点，就是怎么样把红叶的景色拍得更红，不只是这个叶，万一你是拍一个山呢，或者说你想拍一棵树呢，怎么把整个景色拍得更红一些或者说更鲜艳一些，因为有的时候我们所谓的拍红叶也不止是红叶，它还有黄叶其中还加了一些绿，这种花花的其实还蛮好看。好吧，我今天给大家四个技巧。第一个技巧很简单，就是逆光拍。顺光拍的时候，叶片上面有一层蜡质层，蜡质层是用来锁住植物水分的，它可以起到反光的这么一种效果。如果红叶上反着白色或蓝色天空的光，你想想看这能好看吗？肯定不是红的了，至少不是深红色，所以这是一个原因。逆光拍摄，颜色会更鲜艳 © Andrew Small另一个原因就是红叶是有一定的厚度的，整个厚度内的所有的物质其实基本上都是红色为主，如果有一个阳光射透它，它等于把好多好多层的红加在一起了，它是个叠加的一个结果，这个红叶当然就会更红啊。所以捡起身边的红叶也好，黄叶也好，对着阳光用手机拍一张，然后再把它放到地上，顺着阳光拍它一张，一个逆光一个顺光，你很快就会发现它俩有天壤之别，试一次，终身难忘。这是第一个技巧，逆光拍摄。拍山也是一样的，在逆光方向去拍山头的红叶。原图 © aaron-burden色温低，画面会偏蓝 © aaron-burden色温高，画面会偏黄 © aaron-burden第二个方法就是，如果你在白平衡里面做一些小小的手脚，把自动白平衡调成手动的，并且稍微的偏黄一点点的话，整个画面看上去会更有秋天的感觉。因为白平衡它就是两头，要么就偏蓝，要么就偏黄，要是偏太过分了，肯定会被人发现，会觉得你这个是作弊了，不是真实的画面效果，这肯定不是我们想要的，所以就稍微偏一丁点的黄，可以让秋天更秋天。原图 © 叶梓降低曝光，色彩会更浓郁 © 叶梓增加曝光，颜色会偏浅 © 叶梓第三个方法是在曝光上调整。我们颜色这个东西在保持同样的鲜艳程度的前提下，颜色这个东西越明亮，就会让我们觉得颜色越偏浅。你可以想象一下，比如说红色偏明亮，变粉红，再偏明亮，就是你们所谓的水红色，但其实这个词很不准确、不科学，但是不管怎么样，它就有点像是颜料兑了水的感觉嘛，被兑稀了的感觉，它就不叫鲜艳。但是如果红色往深了偏，深红、血红，那个是血浓于水的感觉，是非常鲜艳的。你看它的鲜艳程度并不需要发生变化，只需要亮度上发生变化就可以了。所以拍秋天的红叶照的时候，如果你把曝光往下调一点点，调多了可能不行，那就变成了曝光不足了、曝光不正确了，只要调一点点。或者在后期处理中通过曲线把那些山体的部分或者是树的部分的红色往下调一丁点，它就会变得更浓郁，颜色会更饱满。原图 © Andrew Preble增加对比度后的效果 © Andrew Preble增加饱和度后的效果 © Andrew Preble第四个方法是在后期处理中（调整）。很多人把照片一放到手机或者是电脑软件里面做后期处理，就想着要调高饱和度。调高饱和度确实可以让画面的颜色变得更鲜艳，但是这是一个很蠢的方法，因为做了以后会让人一眼就看出来：“你这个（一看就是）调饱和度调上去的。”那个画面现场肯定就没有那么动人呗，那你这张照片就没有说服力了。所以怎么做呢？应该调高对比度，对比度就是黑和白之间的差异。把这个值少许调高以后，你很容易发现红叶的画面，山啊、树啊、树叶啊……都会变得更加的鲜艳。对比度其实对我们肉眼所观看到的色彩的鲜艳程度是有影响的，所以这一点也不只是可以用于拍红叶，以后你们拍风光等等这些，有时候你想要颜色鲜艳一点的时候，不妨调高对比度。这就是今天教给大家的四个有关拍红叶的方法，我再做一个总结：第一个方法是逆光拍摄，让红叶更红。第二个方法是白平衡稍许偏点黄，让秋天更秋天。第三个方法是压低一点曝光，颜色会变得更浓郁。第四个方法是调高一点对比度，使得画面的颜色看上去更鲜艳。好，今天我们就简单的先聊这么多，大家关于秋天想学点什么那都可以在下方留言，我们可以来看一看，有机会的话我就来回答大家。想看我的更多的摄影好课，可以在微信公众号“摄影早自习”的帖子底下点“阅读原文”就行。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1460，不对1470天了，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散。

Last year, the European Union published a strategic outlook in which it reviewed China as a partner, competitor and a strategic rival, creating a lively debate about the nature of the EU-China relations. However, this outlook was designed for a pre-corona world. How has covid-19 reshaped the EU-China relations? What changes to the global order will the pandemic bring? Who will be the main actors in the international arena? In this week’s podcast Mark Leonard welcomed Lanxin Xiang, Professor in International History and Politics at the Graduate Institute in Geneva and Director of the Centre of One And One Road Studies, who shares his insights on the changing global order, China’s attitude towards the EU and the Chinese “wolf warrior diplomacy” This podcast was recorded on 20 May 2020.

Emotions are an increasingly important part of contemporary politics. Strategies based on fear, nostalgia or hope are used by political leaders all over Europe to mobilize populations. Sociologist Karolina Wigura explored the role of emotions in times of corona in the latest episode of our ECFRQUARANTIMES series. In this week's podcast, this topic will be analysed further with a strong focus on the situation in Poland, the US and France. What are the dominant emotions in these countries? Which people and parties are trying to take advantage of this crisis and transform emotions into policies? What kind of impact covid-19 had and will have on elections? Our Host Mark Leonard is joined by ECFR experts Jeremy Shapiro, Piotr Buras, and Tara Varma. They share their feelings and tell us about the emotional experiences of their countries: how do Poles, the French and US-Americans experiences fear, suspicion and uncertainty in times of corona?

An increasingly fragmented relationship between the European Union and China, caused by the coronavirus crisis but something that was already building up before. Today we are speaking to Andrew Small, a senior fellow in Washington DC studying relationships between Europe and China and the USA and China. So Andrew, were there indications of a degradation of the relationship between Europe and China before the start of this crisis, or were there indications that the relationship may have been strengthening ? “The mainstream opinion in Europe was heading in a much more critical direction, exemplified by the European Union’s paper that came out a year ago that labelled China a “systemic rival,” and talked about the fact that the balance of challenges and opportunities with China had gone through a marked shift. There are concerns about rising authoritarianism under Xi Jinping, and in a purely economic lens, many countries in Europe have seen a marked shift. You are seeing the instrumentalisation even of the private sector in China that would work to the detriment of European companies. >> In Europe, since countries did not know just how bad the crisis could get, they were under-prepared. Are the biggest cracks in the Europe-China relationship now total mistrust ? “The handling of the early stages of the breakout has certainly exemplified a whole series of forms of distrust - the way that inflammation flows took place, repressive behaviour of the State, locking up of whistleblower doctors, suppression of information about the virus. They have also sought to exacerbate internal divisions in Europe and exploit economic fragility in Europe.” Have you noticed a correlation between the countries that have been more greatly affected by the crisis and the backlash and blame-shifting towards China ? Do you think this is justified, or a tactic to divert the blame and make the government’s handling of the crisis look good, or at least less bad ? “I think it is both. China-blaming is an obvious route for governments that have handled the crisis poorly, as you have seen in the UK and the USA. It is also justified to significant degree, and I think we are going to see a worsening of the blame-deflection. There is also well-warranted criticism about how they handled the early stages.” In the aftermath of this crisis, are we now going to see a Europe that is far less economically reliant on China ? “How far can you really rely on China in a situation like this again ? There is a wider question that has come up about the level of economic dependency on China. The buzz-word in Europe has been “diversification”. There needs to be a more effective level of diversification away from China. European companies were left dependent on China alone for their supplies alone. This is going to be a period in which Europe has to see China as a rival too.” China and the European Union, the second and third biggest economies in the world. What are the main worries about a potential degradation of this relationship on the world economy ? “I don’t think we are going to get a replication of the US-China dynamics. You will see a systematic rebalancing over time, and there will still be crucial areas of cooperation that will be pursued with China such as tackling climate change and other European priorities. Cautionary exercise rather than something that leads to a lasting restructuring, it could certainly lead to a rebalancing of global economic dynamics, some of which were underway already and will no doubt be accelerated by this.” There is no doubt that, whenever the crisis wavers, both economically and diplomatically the biggest tests for Europe and China are still to come.

How is the Covid-19 pandemic reshaping the Sino-US relationship? Are we witnessing a geopolitical realignment in Europe? Is China's influence growing or are its early failures and aggressive propaganda attracting a backlash?

Since the gruesome terrorist attack in the Kunming train station in 2014 carried out by members of a Xinjiang separatist group, and a spate of attacks in Xinjiang since the Urumqi clashes in 2009, the Chinese authorities have grown increasingly concerned about domestic and international Islamist terrorism. The number of arrests in Xinjiang has skyrocketed recently, accounting for 13% of the total number of indictments in China in 2017, even though the population of Xinjiang makes up only 1.5% of the country’s total. The government has banned ‘extremist’ behavior in Xinjiang such as fasting during Ramadan, avoiding alcohol, and wearing veils and growing beards, all practices associated with Islam. Events in Xinjiang took a disturbing turn earlier this year as allegations grew of the systematic detention of Uyghurs by Chinese authorities in camps throughout the autonomous region. A United Nations report alleged that as many as one million people, or roughly 7% of the Muslim population of Xinjiang, had been sent to these detention facilities. The Chinese government has insisted that the camps are for ‘re-education’ purposes, a claim rejected by the United States government and many others. China has also been navigating a shifting international context, from concerns over Uyghur fighters in Syria, ISIS propaganda material targeting China, fears over safe havens in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the spillover implications of new trafficking routes for Uyghurs fleeing China through Southeast Asia. The National Committee hosted a conversation with Andrew Small of the German Marshall Fund, an expert on Chinese counterterrorism policy, on October 25, to analyze the reports of the Chinese government’s treatment of Uyghurs in the context of international terrorism.   Andrew Small is a senior transatlantic fellow with the German Marshall Fund's (GMF) Asia Program, which he established in 2006. His research focuses on U.S.–China relations, Europe–China relations, Chinese policy in South Asia, and broader developments in China's foreign and economic policy. 

Trade is back in the spotlight, and the U.S. is at the center of a building international showdown. A combative economic agenda is now being realized as the Trump administration disrupts trade relations with allies and adversaries alike. From the torpedoed TPP, new NAFTA, tariffs on steel, aluminum, and potentially autos, and even suggestions that the U.S. could leave the WTO – who wins and who loses in this new landscape, and where can constructive compromises be made? Is there a common transatlantic trade agenda in dealing with China, and are we heading for a US-China economic decoupling or even a new Cold War? On the latest episode of GMF’s Out of Order podcast, we’ll deconstruct the current state of international trade—from micro to macro-- with the foremost expert on the matter, Georgetown law professor Jennifer Hillman. Hillman has served as a member of the WTO’s Appellate Body, as commissioner of the US International Trade Commission, and as General Counsel at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, among many other roles.

This week, Kaiser and Jeremy chat with Andrew Small, senior transatlantic fellow at the German Marshall Fund in Washington, D.C. Andrew is one of surprisingly few scholars with specialized experience researching China's relations with what it calls its "all-weather friend" — Pakistan. His book from 2015 on the subject is titled The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics. Kaiser, Jeremy, and Andrew discuss how Sino-Pakistani ties have been impacted by the recent election of Imran Khan to prime minister, Pakistan's economic difficulties, and the numerous projects that comprise the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, or CPEC – one of the most important components of China's Belt and Road Initiative.

In Episode IX of Out of Order Rachel Tausendfreund talks with GMF fellows Douglas Hengel, Joshua Kirschenbaum, and Andrew Small about transatlantic fights with Iran and the future of sanctions The sanctions regime against Iran that led to the JCPOA is widely considered one of the most successful implementations of sanctions ever, and also the EU’s biggest foreign policy success. But in May President Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from agreement, leaving allies and rivals scrambling to respond. Europe has announced its intentions to preserve the deal and has promised to come up with a plan by November 2019, signaling a willingness to defy U.S. sanctions to do so — and Russia and China are all too happy to cooperate. The foreign ministers of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, met with their counterparts from China, Russia, and Iran in Vienna in early July to continue work on their JCPOA rescue plans. With GMF fellows Douglas Hengel, Joshua Kirschenbaum, and Andrew Small, Rachel Tausendfreund discusses the role sanctions have played in the global order and the problem of dollar dominance and potential U.S. overreach. Will the EU be able to set up an alternative to shield its companies from secondary sanctions? How does China stand to benefit? And if U.S. allies are able to team up with China and Russia and defy U.S. sanctions, will this be the beginning of the end of unilateral sanction power, or of sanctions generally? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Think or Tanks: Josh: https://piie.com/publications/working-papers/eu-financial-services-policy-2007-crisis-responses-and-prospects Doug: https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/02/09/trumps-use-of-sanctions-may-be-unsustainable/ Andrew: https://macropolo.org/ Rachel: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5610554/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more read a TTake by Doug, Josh, and Andrew on the Iran deal options: “Three Views on U.S. Withdrawal from Iran Deal, and Europe and China’s Response“ http://www.gmfus.org/blog/2018/05/30/three-views-us-withdrawal-iran-deal-and-europe-and-chinas-response Three Views on U.S. Withdrawal from Iran Deal, and Europe ... www.gmfus.org If We Keep Our Cool, We Can Make it to New Negotiations And Joshua Kirschenbaum’s policy brief : “The United States and EU Can Still Avoid Conflict Over Iran Sanctions” http://www.gmfus.org/publications/united-states-and-eu-can-still-avoid-conflict-over-iran-sanctions

President Trump’s overtures to North Korea represent perhaps the most significant foreign policy development so far during his administration. In addition to marking a departure in how authoritarian regimes are treated by the world’s major power, recent developments have the potential to transform the balance of power in Asia. While there is some relief after the days of "fire and fury" threats, U.S. allies around the world are also nervous. Host Peter Sparding talks to Andrew Small and Jamie Fly in Washington, and Janka Oertel in Berlin, about the summit and its implications. After recapping and assessing the summit and its results, the discussion opens with a tour around the region, as the panel discusses how recent developments look from China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Is China the main beneficiary of the new thaw between Washington and Pyeongyang? How does this fit into the larger U.S. strategy towards the Asia-Pacific or is there no coherent strategy? What is driving the debate in South Korea? Does Japan worry about being cut out from any deal? What are the North Koreans hoping to achieve? The debate then shifts to the question of whether Trump’s approach to foreign policy makes the world safer for authoritarians. What are the implications of the president’s behavior towards allies vis-à-vis the attitude shown towards Kim Jong-un? What does it say about the determinants and persistence of U.S. foreign policy that public opinion among supporters of the president seems to be shifting quickly? How do countries in Europe view the developments and do they factor into their own calculations about the U.S. as a reliable partner? Finally, Peter asks each of the panelists for their predictions of how things will play out over the coming months and years.

Associated Press (AP) reporter Gerry Shih was hard at work in 2017 writing a remarkable series of articles on China’s Uyghur Muslim minority. By traveling not just to China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where 10 to 15 million Uyghurs live, but also to Syria, where some have fled and taken up arms with militant groups, he sought to answer the most politicized and consequential questions about the ethnic group. These include: How long and to what extent have authorities in Xinjiang forced Uyghurs into indoctrination camps? How long and to what extent have they compelled residents to give DNA samples to the state? What role has Chen Quanguo 陈全国 had in building Xinjiang’s new digital police state, and will he succeed in subjugating separatist thought? Are China’s Uyghurs involved in global jihadi terrorism? Where and how do they get recruited, and how does China try to influence Uyghurs overseas? His four articles released in December were as follows: December 17: In western China, thought police instill fear December 23: Uighurs fighting in Syria take aim at China December 28: China's crackdown on Uighurs spreads to even mild critics December 29: China's Uighurs work to fend off pull of jihad They are part of a larger AP series titled “China's Uighurs on edge,” comprising 12 stories that seek “to flesh out the profile of a people whose voices have largely been silenced or gone unheard under the blanket of security in the region.” They also were published around the same time that the Wall Street Journal (paywall) and BuzzFeed published similarly alarming stories about the police state in Xinjiang.

In the second episode of Out of Order, GMF Fellows Amy Studdart, Andrew Small, and Peter Sparding take a look at China and its approach to the liberal international order. First, they discuss the so called “China shock" ˗ the analysis that China, as a massive rising economic power, has been one of the causal factors for the crisis in Western democracies, in particular by taking manufacturing jobs in some regions. They then analyze responses from the United States and Europe and wonder if, in some cases, the cures that are now being contemplated may be worse than the disease. Then the podcast looks at the question of interference in Western democracies and whether China is acting similar in this regard to other powers, such as Russia, and what the differences are. Finally, Amy, Andrew, and Peter contemplate the "contest for the future" and what it means if an illiberal power like China takes the lead in various technological areas, such as AI, space, genomics, and nano-tech.

Blame it on Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring or perhaps the ridiculous virtuosity that is characteristic of so much bluegrass playing. In the past decade, growing numbers of classical musicians have been mixing it up with fiddlers, banjo players and mandolin pluckers. Yo-Yo Ma has worked with bluegrass players in the Goat Rodeo Sessions; mandolin wizard Chris Thile has played his own concerto with several American orchestras and released an album of Bach partitas. The latest group to explore this hybrid is the Jake Schepps Quintet, a string band whose members are steeped in bluegrass spontaneity but whose repertoire – yes, repertoire – is by composers from the modern classical tradition. They include Matt McBane, Marc Mellits, Gyan Riley, and Matt Flinner. Led by Schepps, a Colorado-based banjoist, the group came to WQXR to play three pieces from "Entwined," their debut album. "Most of the instruments in the string band aren't foreign" to classical composers, said Schepps, in an interview with host Terrance McKnight. "Most classical composers have written for violin, guitar, and bass, and a mandolin is tuned like a violin so it's familiar territory." The quintet's set began with Flatiron VII: Planetary Tuners by Mellits, a Chicago-based composer whose works have been performed by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Kronos Quartet, among other groups. Schepps has been at the forefront of melding bluegrass with other genres for several years. He previously recorded an album of Béla Bartok's music arranged for a string band, "An Evening In The Village," and says he wants to play the music of Henry Purcell for a future project. "I fell in love with his three and four-part fantasias," he said. "I love Baroque music and Bach. I'm always curious for places that I can take string band instruments into new terrain." Schepps added that it's a "lateral step" to transfer pieces from Purcell's viola da gambas to the five-string banjo. The quintet's next selection is the album's title track, by Matt McBane, a Brooklyn violinist and composer who directs the Carlsbad Music Festival in California and whose music has been played by a number of new-music groups. Flinner, who plays mandolin in the quintet, composed the last selection in the set, called Migrations. He tells McKnight that his challenge "was trying, as a bluegrass musician, to write across that line in a long-form manner. Classical music goes so many different directions these days. One thing that we could use more of is more American roots elements added to that. Bluegrass is a uniquely American art form. It feels like it's getting more respect." Schepps added: "My hope is that a classical audience will come to find something interesting about bluegrass." Listen to the full interview and performances at the top of this page.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Fr. Andrew Small, OMI, National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States; and Fr. Rodney Copp, Archdiocesan Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Boston Today's topics: Pontifical Mission Societies and World Mission Sunday Summary of today's show: Fr. Andrew Small, national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies, and Fr. Rodney Kopp, Boston director, talk to Scot about World Mission Sunday and how the societies provide support for the Church in 1,100 mission dioceses worldwide; how the US went from being a major recipient of aid to being the largest donor in two centuries; and how the “pagan babies” served by the societies years ago still need our generous assistance today. 1st segment: Scot welcomed everyone to the show. In three weeks, we will celebrate World Mission Sunday. Scot welcomed Fr. Rodney Kopp and Fr. Andrew Small. Scot said Cardinal Richard Cushing once served as Pontifical Missions director in Boston. Fr. Small's predecessor was Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Fr. Small said it is awesome. Fr. Small has served in many roles in the US. Scot asked him what he has learned new about the missions since being appointed last spring. Fr. Small said this country was a recipient of great gifts supporting the missions in the US back the 18th century. When faith is planted and watered and grown is bound to spread. It never stops surprising him how generous people are to the missions. Fr. Kopp has been in his role since June, 2010. He's been surprised by the incredible complexity of the the work with regards to the numbers of diocese they serve and how many dioceses are represented by missionaries coming to ask for support. He also had not known of how much support the archdiocese has provided to the missions over the years, being one of the leading dioceses in the US. Boston is the birthplace of Maryknoll, 100 years ago this year, and the the Missionary Society of St. James the Apostle, founded by Cardinal Cushing. Scot said the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) have a long history of service in the missions. He asked Fr. Small if that was why he entered the missions. Fr. Small said he was born in Liverpool, England, to Irish parents. He came to the US in 1988 to study and got to know many Oblates in Lowell. The second-to-last Sunday in October was always World Missions Sunday. This is the mission of the whole Church and in his boyhood parish where there were OMI priests, on that Sunday they would build igloos to represent their work among the Eskimos/Inuit people. They serve the people who live beyond the end of the asphalt roads. Fr. Small served for a year in Brazil. The OMI in Brazil were asked to serve in a time when they were still mission dependent, i.e. dependent on missionaries. The Church in Brazil is strong in faith, but still having a hard time providing catechists and the sacraments to the people. He served outside Rio de Janeiro near some of the infamous favelas, but among very generous and joyful people. What he learned was that in the drive for progress, the little people are being left behind, especially in faith. The OMIs go to these little people so they are not left unserved, including immigrant communities. There is great hope in the missions, but these people are getting left behind economically, both in our country and around the world. The OMI have as many seminarians as they did in the 60s, but they are in new places like Africa and Asia. If we are missionary, we are energized as a Church. If we lose that global focus, we turn in on ourselves. Fr. Kopp said when we heard vocation years ago, we thought of priests and religious, but every baptized Catholic has a vocation which is intimately bound up with the command in Matthew to serve all nations, whether through prayer, contributions, or actually going there. Scott asked what we can do to stay connected to Catholics across the world. Fr. Kopp said people should be aware of what's going on in the media, including Catholic media. Become members of the Society of the Propagation of the Faith and receive the member magazine. He encourages everyone to join them at the cathedral at 11:30 on World Mission Sunday for Mass with Cardinal Seán. Why is World Mission Sunday the second-to-last Sunday of October? It's always been that Sunday. 2nd segment: In addition to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, he three other mission societies are Society of St. Peter the Apostle (raises funds for priests and religious), Holy Childhood Association (for children), and Missionary Union of Priests & Religious (provides theological support). As pontifical societies they are tied to the Holy Father. They are in the diocese, they are apart from the diocese. They approach people in the name of the holy Father to ask for support. The local societies report to the national office and from there to the Vatican congregation for the propagation of the faith. In 2010, 27% of the entire support that goes to the 1,100 mission dioceses comes from the United States. We do have a history and a culture of giving and supporting one another. In the beginning of the mission societies, the United States was an equivalent beneficiary of missionary funds. On World Mission Sunday in the US, it raises about $18 million. Scot said in addition to the World Mission Sunday, there are also missionaries who go into parishes to ask for support. Fr. Kopp said they provide even more funds to missions, as well as provide specific information on particular missionary activity. Fr. Small said when you have a missionary from India tell you about her work and the people she serves, it tends to elicit more donations. They also receive tremendous donations from those who want to leave a lasting legacy through a donation in their last will & testament. He pointed out that overhead is just 3 or 4% and the rest goes right into the pockets of missionaries who need it. The Holy Childhood Association is working in Africa where there is a massive drought and famine. The Church is always at the sharp end of human crisis in the world and people ‘s gifts recognize. Donations can be made to . Fr. Small said the difference between charity and Catholic charity is that you are making a difference for the whole person with eternal consequences. For someone who is provided with AIDS drugs, you can also help them understand the ultimate meaning of their lives. You have to give people the whole package. 3rd segment: Scot asked how the money from the collection gets to the missionaries. Fr. Kopp said the parish writes a check to the local Propagation of the Faith and all those 291 checks are collected. They hope that it can all be gathered within a couple of weeks. Last year, it was about $300,000 or $400,000. The national office collects all the checks from the 175+ dioceses in the United States. They total it all up and notify the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. They put it together with what they get from all the other major giving countries. The staff in Rome look at the needs in the 1,100 mission dioceses around the world as well as the request from the 190+ national mission society directors, and put together a proposal for each project. Then all of the national mission societies come together and go through each proposed project, see the special circumstances involved, and then vote on them. Then they disburse the funds. The money doesn't go out from Rome, but they get a letter to tell them where to send the money in order to maintain accountability. Recipient dioceses send a letter to explain how the funds were spent. Fr. Small said the democratic process is amazing. Even though the US gives so much, it gets one vote among many. The US doesn't get to tell other people who to run their own Church. Sometimes there is haggling and frustration in the debate, but it's because the need is so great. Fr. Small said the bishop is the father of the diocese and so when he makes a request it gets special consideration. One request from each diocese must come from a religious community. Fr. Kopp said he can see what can be accomplished by looking around at the archdiocese to see how it has grown from a mission diocese. 4th segment: World Mission Sunday will be celebrated at the cathedral as well by Cardinal Seán and missionary priests and bishops in the Archdiocese. The Mass is offered for the repose of the souls of missionaries who died in the field over the past year. They also bless and distribute mission rosaries, asking people to pray for the missions. This was created by Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Many missionary groups are invited to join in the Mass. In the intercessions and readings, they use different languages to represent the Church's diversity. Cardinal Seán was in the Diocese of Fall River for 12 years before being in Boston. When he was in Capuchin formation, he had planned to go to the missions, but instead he was asked to go to Washington, DC. Yet he still has missionary DNA. Fr. Small said he worked with Cardinal Seán at the bishops' conference on Latin America and traveled with him to Haiti after the earthquake last year. They recalled together how children used to be asked to save pennies for “pagan babies”, as a way to help them. Fr. Small points out that some of them grew up to be priests, nuns, and lay catechists and still need our help today as the pillars of Catholic communities in mission lands. Scot said it wasn't just about conversion but about helping them because they were in need. Fr. Kopp said today they still do this work in the Holy Childhood Association, educating children about kids like themselves in need around the world. Fr. Small said we can't take for granted that Jesus will be proclaimed in every age. We have to do our part, like our parents and grandparents did. We should claim our heritage in the good will caring for others, person to person, a world away. Fr. Kopp said he hopes on World Mission Sunday to equal or exceed the $450,00 collected last year in Boston.
