“They really want this to be a source of pain for my family. I have to remind myself it is not my fault, it’s not my family’s fault. The government is trying to destroy my values and the people I love" -- @AnnaKwokFY nytimes.com/2026/02/10/wor…

I wonder how Lauren Sanchez, a former journalist, responded to the WaPo cuts. Made me think about how one of the roles of queens in the Middle Ages was to ask for mercy.

.@JeffBezos one of the defining stories of our generation is how China is edging out the US, a battle felt most poignantly here in Asia. I've spent my whole career chronicling this, work that can only be done on the ground in these countries. Our work matters. #SaveThePost

Good explanation by @ryanl_hass on why Trump can’t just hash it out with Xi over the phone. Chinese diplomacy is painfully scripted. The last person in the world Xi is going to engage with without guardrails is Trump.
Ryan Hass@ryanl_hass

1/ Secretary Lutnick’s message is important for setting expectations. Chinese President Jiang Zemin sent a telegram of condolence to George W Bush on September 11, 2001, but beyond that, it is exceedingly rare for a PRC leader to initiate outreach to a US president. (🧵)

A lot has happened at the L.A. Times, some of it taking the focus away from our excellent journalism. If you want to know what's really going on, I'd suggest you keep an eye on the Guild Eagle. First issue written by me: latguild.com/news/2025/2/11…

The accomplished and brave Cambodian journalist Mech Dara, who has done sharp work on human trafficking, has been arrested (link to some of his work below). Don't attack the messenger; arrest the criminals. #JournalismIsNotACrime #Cambodia x.com/iroughol/statu…

Imagine being told your TikTok-loving 8-year-old son is the reincarnation of a 400-year-old Tibetan Buddhist lama. My story on a Mongolian(-American) family at the heart of a struggle between the Dalai Lama and the Chinese Communist Party. nytimes.com/2023/10/04/wor…

Diana Marcum, blithe spirit and generous soul, has left us too soon. The @latimes Pulitzer Prize winner was beloved here at the paper and in the Central Valley, which she covered with such passion. @PulitzerPrizes latimes.com/california/sto…

For those who asked: Yes, this is the photo I used to renew my HKID card when I was 18. The 18-year-old me would never have thought the photo would be publicized globally in an arrest warrant (with a bounty) 8 years later. Note: they widened the photo on the warrant.

41 years ago, #VincentChin was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat by two White autoworkers in Detroit. His killing became representative of the violence, racism, and discrimination that #AsianAmericans have long endured in the US. It also sparked a movement.
