Veteran U.S. Diplomat: We Are Becoming the USSR

Veteran U.S. Diplomat: We Are Becoming the USSR

 

Chas Freeman

Chas Freeman was President Nixon's interpreter during Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972. Now, nearly 40 years later, after an impressive diplomatic and defense career, he's interpreting China for the rest of us.

Last week he said:

The balance of prestige, if not yet the balance of power, between the United States and China has shifted...In some disturbing ways, Sino-American competition is beginning to parallel the contest between us and the Soviet Union in the Cold War. This time, however, the United States is in the fiscally precarious position of the USSR, while China plays the economically robust role we once did.

 

Freeman has long been a global agent provocateur. His outspoken views, especially on the Middle East and China, doomed President Obama's nomination of him two years ago to serve as head of the National Intelligence Council. But he also tends to be enlightening. During his talk last week, he ruminated on a key point about the U.S. Navy's presence in the western Pacific: why shouldn't Beijing be ticked off at us for loitering in their neighborhood? MORE>>>
