Can the U.S. Solve the China Dilemma?
The Biden administration has a tough dilemma to work out: how to push back against China's geopolitical ambitions while also maintaining vital economic ties.

Introducing Heat of the Moment
A special bonus this week, we share an episode from Heat of The Moment, a podcast from FP and the Climate Investment Funds which offers a hopeful perspective on the climate crisis. The latest season focuses on a "just transition," the idea that as we shift to climate-smarter energy, food systems, infrastructure, and more, we bring everyone along. Also that the communities and industries who historically made their living from fossil fuels or unsustainable practices, for example, aren't left behind. And that those most vulnerable to the effects of this transition are heard and also reap the benefits of this new economy.
