Money quote(s):
"Much of China policy is also underpinned by belief in the fantastical: in this case, soothing but logically inconsistent ideas. But unlike unicorns, our China policy excursions into the realm of make believe could be dangerous. Crafting a better China policy requires us to identify what is imaginary in our thinking about China."
CAA is not a "China hand." CAA barely speaks "take-out menu Chinese."
(CAA has, however, noticed a phenomenon where, even in non-English, non-Chinese speaking countries, restaurant orders are relayed, using English menu designations, e.g., "Number Seven!")
Rebounding from that tangent, any U.S. intelligence (especially counterintelligence) professional can't fail to notice, and learn a few things about, China.
So take a look at Mr. Blumenthal's "ten unicorns." What do you think?
