I'm not saying this is the case, but it's ironic to think we might enter a timeline with more relative academic freedom from political monitoring (caveats apply) in some Asian contexts than the West. hongkongfp.com/2026/01/20/h...

It’s not a good idea to have research funding allocated so unevenly and for people to be incentivised to bid for money in ways that are detached from what they actually want their projects to do, through competitions that are hugely wasteful of time and resources.

McFaul today: 'i can't understand why Trump isn't embarrassed'... something Washington blobbers are going to be parroting when he starts killing Greenlanders. they didn't blink an eye when he killed 100+ Cubans and Venezuelans. It's always about the niceties of the exercise of Imperial power.

To underline the point that a lot of Americans have a cartoon understanding of dictatorships, consider that even Hitler had to worry about public opinion and in fact one of the key functions of the gestapo was assessing the mood of the country.

My most patronizing professional opinion:
junior career scholars, don't put just a link to a publication on ResearchGate - put the full text up even just as a private-shareable text and then respond to people who message you there. This is sometimes necessary to start a scholarly 'conversation'.
