His credentials mean that Xi allowed his article to be published. That's not a good look for Russia, especially his concentration on Sino-Russia relations.

Vladimir Putin is trapped in an information cocoon

This is remarkable.... it is completely true, it is the "Dictator's Dilemma," anybody who delivers bad news falls out of a window... it happens to every despot with no checks in a system.

but Xi has done the same thing to himself by most accounts, surrounding himself only with sycophants (not even really "Yes Man" because they are not even asked anything to reply to...) and in a much, much shorter time frame.

So... many questions about this article...
