Key Notes
Jiang defines the first post-1991 U.S. theory of empire as limited objectives, coalition action, and U.N. authority under a rules-based order.
He says he stayed true to himself through years of poverty and refused to sell out into public-relations work, which he portrays as morally degrading and incompatible with sleep or self-respect.
Jiang says he worked for the United Nations for six months as a public-relations officer, found it among the worst experiences of his life, and quit because he could not sleep at night.
Jiang says the 2026 Iran war began with less procedural legitimation than the 2003 Iraq war, because the Trump administration did not build public support, seek congressional approval, or present a UN case.
Jiang says his later work across education, journalism, filmmaking, and the United Nations produced cognitive dissonance because corruption, incompetence, and mediocre success contradicted the meritocratic worldview he absorbed at Yale.
Jiang predicts that over the next five years China will play a more vocal United Nations role and strike a conciliatory tone between the United States and Russia.
