My latest: Two prominent Chinese activists were tried for subversion Friday in Guangzhou in a closed-door proceeding, while supporters and activists criticized Chinese authorities for putting on a "sham trial" and calling for their immediate release. voanews.com/a/metoo-journa…

When @APSAtweets holds its annual meeting in LA, workers at JW Marriot Los Angeles LA Live may be picketing the venue. UNITE HERE Local 11 is asking the conference to relocate. Sign this petition to push APSA to do just that: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Now that most of the bureaucratic hurdles have been cleared, I wanted to announce that I’ll be moving to London at the end of the month to begin a new job as Lecturer of Public Policy & Management at @SOAS.

Clarification: that’s not to say coups aren’t a concern in China and there aren’t elite Party constituencies that must be satisfied or whatever. Just that they seem less key to understanding things than broader state-society relations.

Realizing how much China is an authoritarian outlier today. Theories that I have always felt only offer modest leverage on the Chinese case—theories about coup-proofing, “selectorates”, etc.—seem immensely useful for understanding Russia right now.

Rising corporate profits were the largest contributor to Europe’s inflation over the past two years as companies increased prices by more than the spiking costs of imported energy. bit.ly/441jfya

@ChrisCarothers Also, maybe this reflects a belief—right or wrong—that most citizens are broadly onboard with tough policies in Xinjiang.

I think key is what China thinks/fears might resonate with their average citizens. Accusations of genocide seem outlandish without context. But Xi is a dictator? Yeah...they kinda see it already

People might be confused why China tamps down US accusations that Xi is a dictator but amplifies the US accusation of Xinjiang genocide. 1/2

Like these maps of the birthplaces of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Did you know none of the signers from North Carolina were actually from North Carolina? Settler colonialism, baby!
