We observe similar patterns among farmers affected by import restrictions on certain Taiwanese agricultural products.
The article is expected to be published in 2026. Interested readers can download the preprint from SSRN.

Using quarterly survey data from TEDS, we find that support among tourism industry workers increased significantly in the short term compared to other sectors—especially in (1) respondents traditionally aligned with the Pan-Blue coalition and (2) from cities receiving more government subsidies.
This short article has been accepted by the Journal of Peace Research. We investigates a straightforward question: After mainland China restricted individual travel to Taiwan, did Taiwanese tourism workers become more or less supportive of DPP? ssrn.com/abstract=446...

Since 2020 when I was a PhD student, I’ve been writing short Chinese summaries of academic papers on Weibo—nearly 200 in total. This habit has helped me tremendously. I’ve now compiled these posts into a Notion document titled An Invitation to Political Science.
从2020年读博期间，到现在准备入职正式成为高校教师，我陆陆续续在微博写作学术论文的介绍，累积大约有两百条。这个习惯对我个人帮助很大。我把这些内容整合在这个Notion文档里，取名《政治学的邀约》。欢迎分享，希望有用。

Next time I am asked whether my findings might apply to other contexts, especially democracies, I am going to show them this case.
Hmmm where have I seen this before? Oh yea, only in every autocracy I’ve ever studied.
Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal.
X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers.
That’s extortion.

South Korea's president briefly declared martial law.
President Yoon’s approval rating hit a record low, at just 19 percent, last week. So what's behind his declaration of martial law?
