A Year of War and Little Peace
The year 2023 will be remembered as one defined by war, record heat, anxiety over artificial intelligence, and the continuing appeal of populism. And the best that can be said of the world's most important strategic relationship, between the US and China, is that both sides demonstrated an interest in calmer bilateral ties.

NEW YORK – The advantage historians have over journalists is that the passage of time offers them a perspective not available to those with immediate deadlines. But the year is about to end, which constitutes a firm deadline if the goal is to put 2023 into perspective. “Instant history” may well be an oxymoron, but it is worth the effort, especially in a year that will be remembered as one defined by war.
