THE SEZ-SAR TOUR 2026 Planning my first trip to China in 2026! I really want to go to Hainan since I’ve seen it so much in the news. But since there are no direct flights there, it also seems to make sense to do a stop somewhere else first. I’m thinking of flying into Xiamen first. Not sure exactly what to do there but I should see it? Then the main event: Hainan! Big decision point is to fly into Haikou (old street vibes) or Sanya (sand seafood resorts vibes) Fly back via Shenzen: catch the vibe on the tech stuff, hit one of those megaspas I missed out in Shanghai because I rolled my ankle, then back to Taipei. Recommendations welcome! I’m on a light budget both in terms of RMBs and calories (gaining multiple KGs like I did in Shanghai is not an option.) Would love to meetup with any locals!

This is undoubtedly one of the most thoughtful analyses of the Iran-Israel war that I've heard to date. This is Jacques Sapir (@russeurope), easily one of the most interesting economists and geopolitical analysts in France. He's director of studies at École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris, as well as a member of the very prestigious Russian Academy of Sciences. Sapir's analysis is long and detailed so I've written an article laying it out in full, but in short his argument is that Israel’s pursuit of tactical military victories has led to a strategic defeat of the ideological project of Zionism. Essentially, in their refusal to cede any meaningful sovereignty to the Palestinian people native to the land, Israel has now paradoxically put itself in a strategic place where it's ended up surrendering almost most of its sovereignty to a country halfway around the world - the US - in ways that could severely backfire. And that constitutes the strategic defeat of the core ideological project of Zionism, a contradiction that may have profound and lasting strategic consequences for Israel's future.
