Intel · Tier 2 Adversary-Lens
The Zhongnanhai Frame
Contemporary PRC grand strategy on its own terms (Yan Xuetong moral realism + comprehensive national power), run as a disciplined adversary red-cell
China & the East Asia theater from Beijing's premises: Taiwan & the near periphery, the tech-industrial war (compute, fabs, export controls), Global South alignment & de-dollarization. Defers on pure Western market-microstructure.
“Read the board as the Politburo does: not a crisis, but the 'period of strategic opportunity' — and patience itself is a weapon system.”
