🟦 New episode of The President's Inbox.
A Chinese food-delivery company just released a frontier AI model—trained entirely on domestic chips—that ranks among the best in the world. China regulates AI more tightly than the EU. And the U.S. is spending north of a trillion dollars a year to stay around 2% ahead on benchmark tests.
Jim Lindsay sits down with Alvin Wang Graylin—who has 35 years in AI and two decades working inside China's tech industry—to take that story apart. They discussed why chasing AGI may be a costly distraction, how U.S. export controls ended up spurring Chinese innovation, and where Washington and Beijing actually share an interest in getting AI right.
🗳️ Give us your gut read:
Racing China to build the most powerful AI—smart strategy, or expensive mistake?

🟦 New episode of The President’s Inbox is live.
We tell ourselves a familiar story: the United States was a peaceful, isolationist nation that only reluctantly got dragged into the world’s conflicts. Robert Kagan argues that that story is backwards. As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Jim Lindsay sits down with Kagan to trace how a thin strip of thirteen colonies became a global superpower, and why Americans have never quite understood their own role in the world.
👇 Before you watch—weigh in:
📊 Has the United States ever truly been isolationist?

Half of the world's women heads of government are in Europe. Taiwan's Tsai Ing-wen served two terms and left her country more resilient than she found it. Estonia's Kaja Kallas now runs EU foreign policy. The headlines focus on the backlash—but a generation of women leaders is rewriting the playbook on democracy, defense, and standing up to Russia and China.
Jim Lindsay sits down with CFR's Linda Robinson, author of the new book Women in Power, to talk about what these leaders are getting right—and what the rest of us can learn from them.
