Thanks @nytimes for naming my book to its recommended reads ("Toggling between extravagances like simulated World War II battles and dueling luxury disaster refuges, Osnos takes the reader deep into our new Gilded Age.")

Important history from ex-CIA China specialist. For weeks before the crackdown, uniformed military leaders warned that a professional military must not be turned on its own population. They lost that internal debate to the civilian political bosses.

Little know fact about the 1989 Tiananmen Square crisis... the PLA's intervention was opposed for weeks by many senior generals. By 1993, some of them were running the PLA, while those most closely tied to the bloody crackdown were gone.

RT @JeremyKonyndyk: All joking aside - the truth is that @elonmusk actively duped @realDonaldTrump and @SecRubio about the work of @USAID.…
