Thank you for highlighting the new rhetoric form Beijing. This pivoting from zero-sum game to a minimization of maximal risk (the min-max problem in system designs) is a crucial and welcoming policy orientation. The histrionic war rhetoricians on both sides may catch all the buzz and sell all the copies, nevertheless, the game is played with chess masters, not the hecklers. thank you for posting your thoughts!

The sentence beginning 'The common baseline of Modern Thought' was left incomplete (I went hunting for the quote). For the record, Qin Hui posits that the common baseline is 'liberty'. Of course, he doesn't mean 'licence', e.g. being entitled NOT to protect others from your own viral infection: 'liberty' for one can NOT be at the expense of liberty for others.
