In this Raw Uncut episode, Van Jackson breaks down what it takes to render a bad take on China. Using a recent hot take from Prof. Stephen Walt as the example, Van identifies at least three ways of not only getting China wrong, but getting it wrong badly.
One: Mischaracterize Chinese behavior
Two: Promote China's preferred narrative for its misdeeds
Three: Draw false equivalencies with the United States (Or, use China observations to throw shade at the US)
