My new essay on how authoritarian China defied skeptics to become a global innovation leader
In Autocracy 2.0: How China's Rise Reinvented Tyranny, Dartmouth associate professor of government Jennifer Lind advances a sharp, unsettling concept she dubs “smart authoritarianism," showing how China’s regime has learned to maintain power while limiting the economic damage of repression. Listen!
Many East Asian countries, including some U.S. allies, have refused to choose between the United States and China, writes @proflind.bsky.social. “But under bipolarity, the luxury of choice is not one afforded to small countries in a superpower’s backyard.”
Hey London… 👀
How did China defy expectations to become a technological powerhouse? In her new book “Autocracy 2.0” from @cornellupress.bsky.social, government professor @proflind.bsky.social explores China’s rise—and why conventional wisdom got it so wrong.
China’s “smart authoritarianism,” alongside a massive innovation push, led to its rapid rise from technology copycat to leading innovator. But Xi’s tightening grip may stifle innovation and growth, writes @proflind.bsky.social.
How did China's leaders propel the country to innovation-superpower status?

Autocracy 2.0 launches tomorrow!
Are U.S. export controls on AI chips working?
DeepSeek AI suggests maybe not. Jennifer Lind (@proflind.bsky.social) explains how China achieved a breakthrough they were not supposed to be able to accomplish.
In this week's Q&A with @andypeaps.bsky.social, academic @proflind.bsky.social talks about the way #China has confounded expectations that its system of government would serve only to stifle technological development.
Great conversation about my new book Autocracy 2.0 with Andrew Peaple at @thewirechina.bsky.social

“CoCom did not prevent the USSR from accessing key technologies. The current regime is similarly porous, and China is a more adept target.” quote from ". . . CoCom’s Lessons and the Challenge of Crafting Effective Export Controls Against China" by Jennifer Lind and Michael Mastanduno
The US is trying a "high fence around a small yard" approach to tech controls on China. Will it work?
@proflind.bsky.social and Mastanduno argue that the lessons from the Cold War's CoCom suggest a tough road ahead, with risks to alliances and long-term effectiveness.

With much of U.S. foreign policy needing a refresh, the left is not exempt. It's time to see progressivism in foreign policy as a set of guideposts but not a movement. Thanks @proflind.bsky.social for inviting me to guest-post.
At Blue Blaze, our Scouted series discusses exciting new work in IR and foreign policy.
Tune in Wednesday for our first Scouted podcast—in which I host @sheenagreitens.bsky.social & @ibkardon.bsky.social discussing their work on China as an internal security provider
This week at Blue Blaze, we feature guest author @natsecheather.bsky.social, third in our special series on a progressive foreign policy for the United States.

Super interesting post by @proflind.bsky.social. I, for one, am very much looking forward to hearing (and participating in) this debate.

“The principles of prioritization predate the Trump administration, and they will likely endure beyond it. Every U.S. president since Barack Obama has tried to “pivot” U.S. national security focus from Europe to Asia”

In our inaugural post of our new “Scouted” series, excited to spotlight Dan Reiter’s terrific book
open.substack.com/pub/blueblaz...
The Trump administration is giving up the pursuit of worldwide influence in order to focus on Asia, write @proflind.bsky.social and Daryl Press “This strategy offers a middle position between isolationism and the longtime U.S. strategy of global leadership.”
The smartest thing you will read on US strikes against Iran and it's not close - a new roundtable featuring my colleagues @proflind.bsky.social, @nicholasmiller.bsky.social, J Friedman, and D Press as well as other experts and practitioners. Highly recommended. blueblaze.substack.com/p/special-ro...
