In this episode of Intelligence Matters, host Michael Morell speaks with Hal Brands, Henry A. Kissinger Distinguished Professor of Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies and author of the new book,Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict with China, about China s economic, political and demographic trajectory and the percolating risk of conflict with Beijing in the coming years. Brands explains why he believes China, rather than being on the rise, is peaking as a global power and as a result may engage in more destabilizing behavior.

They also discuss the effect of Speaker Pelosi s visit to Taipei, different scenarios and timelines for a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan, as well as how the conflict in Ukraine may - or may not - affect Xi s calculus.

The Texas court largely sidestepped those bigger issues at play, and instead ruled that the state lost because it waited too long to intervene. We would appreciate the opportunity to address the merits of this issue of critical importance at this critical juncture in our nation s history, Justice Jeff Brown wrote.
hoka Yet we must respect the bounds of our jurisdiction by addressing only the questions immediately before the Court. Abbott, a former justice on the state Supreme Court, was attorney general when his office challenged the divorce. He called the ruling wrong.
