Richard Maude on excellent form explaining why China won’t engage on "guardrails" — and thus that "competition with guardrails" ain't going to work.
Says AUS + SEA nations et al to call China out on this.
It's behind the paywall. Some quotes 🧵

Good thread on why China has no interest in crisis management mechanisms like hotlines with the US (or doesn't pick up the phone when the US calls) China thinks such 'guardrails' will encourage US aggressiveness and would instead prefer to have no deescalation mechanisms at all
