What ever happened to ‘common prosperity’? Our cover story this week from Rachel Cheung looks at the Xi Jinping policy that was absolutely everywhere just three years ago, why it fizzled out, and what, if anything, can be done to reverse China’s #economic malaise and glaring inequality. Elsewhere, Aaron Mc Nicholas takes a look at China’s potential #sanctions against PVH Corp., owner of fashion brands Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger; Eliot Chen's interview with Helen Toner, the former OpenAI board member, on setting the rules for #AI; a reported piece from Yi Liu on China’s struggling #steel industry; and an op-ed from Victor Shih on why China’s latest economic #stimulus measures are likely to provide only a temporary boost.

Oriana Skylar Mastro is a fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, an assistant professor of political science at Stanford University, and a reservist in the U.S. Air Force. Her research focuses on Chinese military and security policy, and her recent book, Upstart: How China Became a Great Power, uses business literature to offer a new framework for understanding China’s strategies and its competition with the United States. In this week’s interview with Rachel Cheung, she discusses how China has exploited vulnerabilities in U.S. strategy, where it has been more ‘entrepreneurial’ in its approach, and how the U.S. should counter these efforts.

Our cover story by Luke Patey this week examines the Taiwan contingency and if American multinationals are prepared. Between Chinese encroachments on Taiwan and Taiwan's military spending spree, it can certainly feel like the drums of war are beating in East Asia. And yet, American investment into Taiwan has been steadily rising in recent years. U.S. companies invested over $1.55 billion last year — the highest annual level reported since 2008. Elsewhere, we have infographics from Aaron Mc Nicholas on the China cliff facing foreign carmakers; an interview with Oriana Skylar Mastro on China's 'upstart' strategy; a reported piece from Rachel Cheung on Temu and Shein's changing tacks; and an op-ed from Paul S. Triolo on the potential new U.S. export controls on the semiconductor industry.

Sir Danny Alexander is the vice president for policy and strategy at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the multilateral development bank set up by China in 2016. He joined the #bank after spending five years as a senior member of the British government, after his Liberal Democrat party joined a coalition under former Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron. Under Cameron, the UK pursued the so-called ‘Golden Era’ policy designed to deepen ties with China, which included the decision to join the AIIB as a founding member despite opposition from the Obama administration. In this interview with Andrew Peaple, Alexander — who is set to leave AIIB in October and join HSBC — discusses how the bank developed and the extent of Chinese influence over its operations.
