+00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,500
+[S1] Today we're discussing Tom Clancy. A thriller writer, yet called by the author the most underrated geopolitical analyst in American history.
+
+2
+00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:05,200
+[S2] That's a bold claim. Tell me more.
+
+3
+00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,800
+[S1] His 2000 novel 'The Bear and the Dragon' predicted the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war and the China-Russia 'no-limits' alliance, 22 years in advance.
+
+4
+00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,500
+[S1] How did a guy writing airport novels in Maryland see more clearly than the entire CIA?
+
+5
+00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:16,200
+[S2] This isn't just prediction, it's simulation. He built Soviet naval strategy models so accurate that the Pentagon invited him to wargame with generals.
+
+6
+00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,000
+[S2] He understood one key thing: war is a system, not an event.
+
+7
+00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,500
+[S1] 'The Hunt for Red October' is a primer on submarine acoustics. 'Clear and Present Danger' explains drug cartels and congressional oversight.
+
+8
+00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:26,000
+[S1] But 'The Bear and the Dragon' is truly scary.
+
+9
+00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,500
+[S2] In the book, China and Russia form a military alliance, invade Alaska, catch America off-guard, paralyze NATO.
+
+10
+00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:34,800
+[S2] But here's the brilliant part: the war doesn't end in nuclear apocalypse. It ends in ceasefire and a new Cold War stalemate.
+
+11
+00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,200
+[S1] In 2022, China and Russia didn't invade Alaska, but they did form a 'no-limits' alliance that caught the West off-guard.
+
+12
+00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,000
+[S1] Why was Clancy right?
+
+13
+00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,500
+[S2] Because he understood the mathematics of power. When China's economy became 10 times Russia's, the math changed.
+
+14
+00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:49,000
+[S2] Russia could no longer be a peer player, it had to become a junior partner. This isn't ideology, it's arithmetic.
+
+15
+00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,500
+[S1] The scariest part: when Clancy wrote the book, China's GDP was still smaller than Italy's. Everyone thought he was crazy.
+
+16
+00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:58,000
+[S1] But he saw the trajectory. He saw that the 21st century would be Asian.
+
+17
+00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,500
+[S2] China had two choices: dominate its neighbors or merge with them. China chose to merge. Russia had no choice.
+
+18
+00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:06,800
+[S2] That's why Clancy isn't a novelist, he's an analyst. He read the same data as everyone else, but he knew how to read it for blood.

+The paper's analysis of the '赛博共产主义' (cyber communism) vision that never materialized is fascinating.
+
+20
+00:01:41,380 --> 00:01:51,817
+The Soviet Union had the technical expertise to develop advanced computing systems, but bureaucratic interests and a focus on military might derailed those efforts.
+
+21
+00:01:51,817 --> 00:01:58,880
+This is a cautionary tale for any nation that prioritizes military power over technological innovation.
+
+22
+00:01:59,048 --> 00:02:00,648
+Thank you.
+
+23
+00:02:00,598 --> 00:02:07,510
+It's interesting to see how the paper connects these historical lessons to contemporary geopolitics.
+
+24
+00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:16,223
+The rise of China as a technological power while maintaining a strong military presence shows that a balance is possible.
+
+25
+00:02:16,376 --> 00:02:19,088
+That's a great point, Dmitri.
+
+26
+00:02:19,038 --> 00:02:21,113

+Hi, this is Priya from New Delhi.
+
+28
+00:02:24,447 --> 00:02:30,684
+I was intrigued by the paper's section on '革命输出的会计困局' (the accounting dilemma of revolution export).
+
+29
+00:02:30,684 --> 00:02:38,034
+The author argues that China's foreign aid policies during the Cold War suffered from conflicting objectives.
+
+30
+00:02:38,034 --> 00:02:40,522
+Could you elaborate on this?
+
+31
+00:02:43,138 --> 00:02:44,850
+Thanks for calling, Priya.
+
+32
+00:02:44,850 --> 00:02:48,775
+The paper uses an accounting metaphor to explain the problem.
+
+33
+00:02:48,775 --> 00:03:02,175
+Traditional tributary systems had clear objectives (maintaining political order), but revolutionary export tried to achieve both political returns and selfless aid simultaneously, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
+
+34
+00:03:02,175 --> 00:03:04,350
+Sarah, could you expand on this?
+
+35
+00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,675
+Definitely, Priya.
+
+36
+00:03:06,625 --> 00:03:17,000
+The paper argues that this accounting dilemma led to situations where China provided significant aid to countries like Albania and Vietnam without clear strategic returns.
+
+37
+00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,750
+When these relationships soured, it created diplomatic challenges.
+
+38
+00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:32,337
+The author suggests that this experience influenced China's more pragmatic foreign aid policies today, which are more focused on mutual benefit through economic cooperation.
+
+39
+00:03:32,508 --> 00:03:34,270
+Fascinating.
+
+40
+00:03:34,220 --> 00:03:43,008
+This perspective helps explain the evolution of China's foreign policy from the Cold War era to today's Belt and Road Initiative.
+
+41
+00:03:43,008 --> 00:03:45,208
+Thank you for the insight.
+
+42
+00:03:45,322 --> 00:03:46,572
+Thank you, Priya.
+
+43
+00:03:46,572 --> 00:03:49,684
+It's been great having both of you on the show today.
+
+44
+00:03:49,788 --> 00:03:58,675
+Join us next time as we continue exploring the insights from Ben Xu's 'A Tale of 2 Treaties' and their relevance to contemporary geopolitics.
+
+45
+00:03:58,625 --> 00:04:03,038
+Until then, this is Geopolitics Unpacked signing off.
