Interesting article looking at foreign scholars analysing the CCP "in-person academic conferences and education and training programs at various levels should be increased, and overseas scholars should be encouraged to conduct field visits and longitudinal research in China"

I’m very belatedly going through @JosephTorigian’s epic book: The Party’s Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping. I knew Xi Zhongxun was purged & suffered in the CR, but didn’t know the scope & the violence of the campaign against him before the CR

近日，有网友发现，大量的政府公示名单，彩票公益金公示，行政罚款，各种竞赛获奖名单等，其中的人名均出自百度文库上的一份“万人姓名大全”，当中最频繁出现的名字为“张吉惟、林国瑞、吉玟书、林雅南、江奕云”。 这5位的名字频繁出现在全国各行各业，就连排序都一模一样，被网友戏称为“全网最忙五人组”。

@SdBachman @IlhanMN There have been stories for a while.....there is a segment of the US-Euro elites for whom this may not be perceived as negative; but then they would have affirmed Ukrainian annexation in 2022 on the first day this 2nd phase of the war

Super interesting paper: "The findings reveal that policy endorsement from LLMs, especially Chinese LLMs, can effectively enhance public support for controversial policies, whereas endorsement from experts shows no significant effect."

As a friend of mine once told me about being in an Oxbridge recruiting panel: "The chairman went through the panel members, wanting to discriminate against the one ranked number one: he's not one of us, is he?" Well, he wasn't. He wasn't hired.

Sometimes I find myself thinking too fondly about university and academia. When this happens I turn to the cure which is reading Stoner by John Williams. The existential sadness of the book brings me back to reality, quickly and mercilessly.
