"I respect @TheAtlantic. It should issue a correction. No one asked me for comment or I would've pointed out the false context. The irony is that Rubenstein twisted a line to fit his ideological point the very act he criticizes. And all serious journalists scrutinize opinions. This passage in @TheAtlantic essay by Adam Rubenstein is wrong. The quote is from a paragraph in which I discussed only China policy. I named a GOP senator whom I think speaks with more substance on China than Cotton. Readers know I quote a wide range of knowledgeable analysis. https://t.co/DMWQvFZWhy This passage in"
