"The ascendant view in Washington holds that the competition is us-or-them; in fact, the reality of this century will be us-and-them. It is naïve to imagine wrestling China back to the past. The project, now, is to contest its moral vision of the future."
One of many pull-quotes from this New Yorker wide lens must-read.

I've never really lost anybody in my life that has meant so much to me until yesterday. My grandma was one of the most fantastic people that you will ever meet. She didn't have one bad bone in her and was an inspiration to me my whole entire life.
Around 6 years ago she was diagnosed with cancer and the doctors said she wouldn't make it through the year. How wrong were they...why? Because they didn't realize how extremely strong and tough she was 💪
I moved to Malaysia a few years ago and my mum would tell me every time I came back that it might be the last time I saw her because of her condition. But she kept fighting on , staying strong and proving everybody wrong. Last night that moment that I never ever wanted to happen became a reality and she unfortunately passed away.
Although I had a good cry about it and was feeling very emotional last night I actually am now looking on the bright side about a lot of things . I realized that she had such a wonderful life , three beautiful children that she loved so much and they would do anything for her , seven grandchildren that she got to spend special quality time with , a loving husband who although was also very sick , got to spend her last moments with her , she died peacefully with a smile and had people beside her that loved her to the moon and back. And of course she fought every day to spend more moments and quality time with her loving family.
My grandma was one of , if not THE most amazing person that I have known my entire life. She used to record my wrestling shows for me on a Video Tape secretly and pass it to me because she knew my mum and dad didn't like me watching it 🙊
She was somebody that was always one call away whenever I had any problems and needed somebody to talk to.
She was somebody that has inspired me my whole entire life and if I am half the grandparent she was to me to my future grandchildren...I'll be a very happy guy.
Rest In Peace Granny Ford
I will never ever forget you and you will always be with me for the rest of my life.
❤️
