Cannot fathom the passing of Prof. Joe Fewsmith. I was discussing his works in the class. Lucky to have interacted with him and audited his classes at Boston University as HYI fellow in 2016-17. A true scholar gentleman!🫡 @HarvardYenching.

Sharing my piece in @ForeignAffairs where I argue that, unlike the common perception, China’s overcapacity problem is NOT primarily about government subsidies (many of which have been rolled back) or lack of domestic demand (true in general, but not the leading cause in green tech). Rather, it stems from three interlocking internal dynamics: The bureaucratic system’s incentives, reinforced by the fiscal–tax model and worsened by the property market drag. The financial system’s incentives, rooted in the banking sector’s low risk appetite and its preference for visible, short-term results. A hypercompetitive, extremely innovative private sector, which paradoxically has made the problem worse. These three forces reinforce one another and are deeply baked into the system. What makes the problem so hard to unwind is precisely that it’s not just about what the government does or doesn’t do; it’s about aligning a vast network of fragmented and often contradictory incentives. Hence, what’s needed is not merely a correction, but an institutional reckoning.

Few glimpses of the Chinese appointed Panchen Lama’s Kalachakra session at Tashi Lhunpo monastery, Tibet. Among many high profile figures, 7th Gungthang Rinpoche was also present who few years back in 2023 has given a kalachakra in upper zorge region bordering Sichuan-Gansu.
