On the other hand, Tanner Greer also launched the Center for Strategic Translation because he thinks too many American decisionmakers do not know how to read Chinese newspapers. And fittingly enough, he announced it in Palladium: https://www.palladiummag.com/2022/11/14/why-we-need-the-center-for-strategic-translation/ https://www.palladiummag.com/2022/11/14/why-we-need-the-cent... ... anyone who read one of my pieces was separated from the original sources by at least two intermediate layers of analysis: my writing was a gloss of other people’s research, which itself was a summary of multiple sources in Chinese. This way of doing things is no longer sufficient. To resolve debates over China policy, all participants need to read what the Chinese are saying in their own words. Wise China policy will not be made until the generalists are able to access the same sources as the specialists.
