Cool paper: "An analysis of publicly available data of 2,200 experts on Chinese politics worldwide, compiled through a bottom-up snowballing nomination process, reveals that this China Watcher community is globally connected and diverse but also continues to be dominated by male US-based academics."

Great to see the first paper from this side project out in PS. I’m grateful to have had the chance to work with Franziska and Jos.

Glad to be quoted in this report about Chinese citizens fighting for Ukraine (yes, there are many Chinese sympathetic towards Ukraine, 22% by our estimate). Special thanks go to @davidstroup.bsky.social for the referral.

"I’d never been so curious about another writer’s routines, habits, and time-management skills." Hua Hsu asks the question we all have: how does Rebecca/R.F. Kuang manage to do it all?!?
The Otherworldly Ambitions of R. F. Kuang
The author of “Babel” and “Yellowface” is drawn to stories of striving. Her new fantasy novel, “Katabasis,” asks if graduate school is a kind of hell.

Yes, the new @barbarademick.bsky.social book is one of the most amazing things I've read out of China in a long time. The rare work that deeply expands your sense of people's interior lives.
New Yorkers, come hear @barbarademick.bsky.social’s first talk about her amazing new book “Daughters of the Bamboo Grove,” at The Strand on Monday. It’s an epic story of Chinese twin sisters cruelly separated, one adopted and raised in America. Tickets here: www.strandbooks.com/events/event...

A few thoughts about today's protests:
1) The April 5 Hands Off day of action clearly ranks as one of the very largest mobilizations in U.S. history, by two different measures:
-- total national turnout (~ 3 million)
-- number of local protests (~ 1400)
