Read excerpt
Xi and Trump’s latest summit shows the need for cooperation even as deep differences continue to shape ties between the two powers Arthur Schopenhauer’s classic parable of relationships may help us understand today’s China-US ties. The reclusive German philosopher famously described how wintering porcupines need to cluster together to survive the biting cold, but hurt one another with their quills if they get too close.
