Incredible workshop at Tsinghua University. I’m very grateful to be part of this discussion between top Chinese researchers and Penn Project fellows.

It was a privilege to participate in this workshop, reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. Neysun Mahboubi and DA Wei @Tsinghua 达巍, many thanks to you and your respective teams for convening us and facilitating enriching discussions on some of the core issues in U.S.-China relations.

History tells us US-China ties will survive current rupture: Neysun Mahboubi Neysun Mahboubi The leading academic finds grounds for ‘moderate optimism’ after leading a group of American students on a 10-day tour of China scmp.com/news/china/dip…

.Neysun Mahboubi tells Meredith Chen that “the point of dialogue is not to paper over differences, but to speak forthrightly about those very differences.” scmp.com/news/china/dip…

Grateful for the opportunity to interview Neysun Mahboubi who shared deep insights into the dynamics of US-China academic exchanges and other topics - super insightful!

"Even if you look at this through the lens of strategic competition ... the idea that we are not training a new generation of experts within the US system on our “systemic competitor” should be a cause of huge alarm."

Pleased to meet with the third cohort of Penn Project on the Future of U.S.-China Relations fellows and Neysun Mahboubi this week. They are established leaders in national security, economics, trade & tech. Critical issues for the future of U.S.-China relations.

很高兴本周与第三梯次的宾夕法尼亚大学美中关系未来项目Penn Project on the Future of U.S.-China Relations学者以及马瑞欣教授Neysun Mahboubi见面。他们是国家安全、经济、贸易以及科技领域优秀被认可的领袖，其乃为未来美中关系关键的议题。

While I may come off as a China hawk on X, I think it’s very important to maintain friendships of honesty with Chinese colleagues, as Neysun Mahboubi does: “My view is that the point of dialogue is not to paper over differences, but to speak forthrightly about those very differences.”

Tonight I had the distinct honor of lecturing to the just arrived cohort of 100 Princeton-in-Beijing language students, started by showing them the class photo of my own PiB cohort from summer 1995. The combination was so moving, I had to fight of tears before starting to speak

1/ Good to see the idea of an "axis" between China-Russia-Iran-North Korea come up for long overdue scrutiny. These four countries share antipathy toward US and have revisionist aims, but they do not operate as a cohesive axis. Kudos to Edward Wong. (1 of 3) nytimes.com/2025/07/06/us/…
