I will be attempting to return to Guangzhou. I’m not sure how today is going to go. Sipping on some hot water to stave off infection, I’ve been told for 7 years hot water cures everything. Standby for updates:

4/4 Before I get some progressive or MAGA, “well what about XYZ!?” Well, go learn mandarin so you know what to listen/look for, get a degree in Sinology, then live under Xi’s CCP for a while*. Then come tell me how similar your electoral opponents are to the CCP. *source: I did

With the new crackdown on info and people to people flows across China’s borders, I’ve been thinking a lot about how hard or impossible it would be to repeat my ten years (between 2010-2021) in China if I had instead started in 2023. A thread on the madness of the new era 1/10

Left China last year and moved to Eindhoven. There are definitely exciting developments in this region of Europe.

The Party Congress is right around the corner, and with it Xi Jinping's inevitable speech full of big Taiwan rhetoric. I thought I'd at least make a game out of the jargon for everyone listening in:

Finally!

@foerster1337 Thank you, I look forward to seeing you again, Marco! We have much to catch up on in person.

@Peter_M_Drucker All the best for the new endeavor! I'm at the Dutch border every time I visit Germany so I'm sure I'll see you around.

After spending some much needed family time in New York, I am happy to announce that I just moved to the Netherlands for my next job. Still remaining very China focused as I excitedly start this new, European chapter of my life.

After living outside of China for a full year, I still can’t believe that I spent ten years praying to the VPN gods for a working connection to do insidious things like check my gmail inbox or watch a recipe video on YouTube. I miss plenty. I do not miss the nanny-state.

Traveling from Albany to DC for an event. Some thoughts on my first train ride since leaving China: - the cabin is quiet, comfy, and not packed to capacity - the seats are well padded with plenty of leg room - wifi - the GBA and Hudson River Valley are both unique and beautiful

A month ago I left China and, for the first time in ten years admittedly, I don’t have a plan to return. I have since returned home to be with family I haven’t seen in three years. Moving to Europe in July to work on more China related issues.

The European Chamber, in partnership with @RolandBerger, today released a survey on the impact of China’s #COVID-19 policy and Russia’s war in Ukraine on European business in China. This thread will show some key findings. [1/6]

We in Lithuania know it very well that Ukraine is fighting not just for Ukraine, but for us in the region, Europe and everyone in the democratic world. It is our obligation not just to punish Russia for its actions but to help Ukraine with all and every means available. Now.

Putin has just launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Peaceful Ukrainian cities are under strikes. This is a war of aggression. Ukraine will defend itself and will win. The world can and must stop Putin. The time to act is now.

To everyone celebrating the new year in China, just remember: there are still a lot of people this year who are working or can’t make it home to their families. Be sure to wish them a happy new year.

Can one actually be furious at Keanu? Doubtful. news.com.au/entertainment/…

Will be using this WeChat sticker for the remainder of the year.

He’s back! @zaikandongxi , more like在查水表
