Reject repurposing the bank as a tool against China
What the document says“any attempts to reorient the agency and make it a weapon with which to fight against China are going to fail. Economic fights and national security fights are not won with subsidies.”
This answers, in advance, the argument the chapter's second essay goes on to make. The first author holds that the case for the bank as a counter to Chinese export credit will not work on its own terms.
What the document actually says“any attempts to reorient the agency and make it a weapon with which to fight against China are going to fail. Economic fights and national security fights are not won with subsidies.”
Some want to use this bank against China. The first essay says that will not work.
China lends heavily to other countries. Some say America should do the same. This essay says subsidies do not win that fight.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. This is one author answering the other inside the same chapter, a contention rather than a request for government action, and the chapter names no instrument for it. Nothing in the candidate set bears on it, and no document in the record settles a claim of this kind. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
