Discussing Liberally Salt Lake City

.
Traditionally, each month’s “Reference Materials” section includes, inter alia, book reviews from –

The New York Times
The Wall Street Journal
The Washington Post

It appears that all three shirked their duty.

HOWEVER, 8 days after publication of “On Xi Jinping” the Council on Foreign Relations’ Annual Lecture on China was given by Ambassador and former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

The 10/23/2024 lecture was based on “On Zi Jinping” only 8 days after its 10/15/2024 puhlication.

The 17-page transcript of the Council on Foreign Relations Lecture is the first post in this section.

[For those who would rather hear the 60-minute YouTube recording of the lecture (though we are, after all, a Reading Group), it is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf9L42WGuQc.]
