Just landed HK. The first and only question the Customs staff asked me is: are you pregnant? Great! I feel at home now! It is the old familiar HK I know 😍👏

What about the Brits living in Spain? Or France?? Or Dubai??? It’s giving Farage parody.

Congress and various state legislatures have revived bills proposing to ban all Chinese students, bar PRC citizens from buying any property, from working as researchers...etc. Legal advocates worry a "China initiative" is back. npr.org/2025/04/13/nx-…

@JiaqiLiu_soc @AASAsianStudies @yddshunan Sounds interesting! Can we join online?

I’ll be attending @AASAsianStudies for the first time! I’ll present my latest research on China’s policies toward diaspora youth and how younger generations of Chinese emigrants leverage the rise of Global China. Looking forward to a critical discussion on China’s overseas reach!

I look forward to talking about our ongoing research on the lived experiences of Chinese diasporas in the UK, and, more importantly, discussing how we can support them in ways that are engaging and liberating.
