People’s Daily’s courageous attempt at using infographics to explain Xi Jinping Thought. What does this look like to you?

Rockin’ that iPhone PIN Kanye! This is a great example of why biometrics (like on the iPhone X he’s using) make so much sense.

Beijing appeals to people of Chinese descent in other countries, notably Singapore, to forge stronger ties to the People’s Republic of China. By @Amyyqin nyti.ms/2OFAuPf?smid=n…

The Singapore summit statement is essentially aspirational: no definitions of denuclearization, no timelines, no details as to verification. What is most troubling about all this is that the US gave up something tangible, namely, US-RoK military exercises, in exchange.

When asked about the ability of the US to "blow apart" one of China's artificial islands, Lt. Gen. McKenzie (director of US Joint Staff) said, "I would just tell you that the United States military has had a lot of experience in the Western Pacific taking down small islands."

Japan is almost certain to feel #FOMO in ongoing talks on the Korean Peninsula, because remember in 1972 Nixon went to China without informing Tokyo? twitter.com/scmp_news/stat…

Never would I imagine Tun to be back at the helm and of all people, Wan Azizah as DPM. twitter.com/ibrahimsaninet…

Ok, bottom-line up front: The reporting has been mostly hot garbage -- except the @JNBPage story. The mountain did not collapse and there is no evidence that it is unusable. I checked an image from @planetlabs dated April 25. The mountain is still there. 😀 1/8

For the first time in decades (& shortly after Xi was allowed to rule for life), people have been allowed by the PRC gov. to leave flowers, signs, etc. at the grave of Mao’s wife Jiang Qing who was the leader of the infamous “Gang of Four.” rfa.org/english/news/c…

Up to this point, China has clearly tried to leave itself an out to negotiate with Trump. But if he keeps raising the stakes so publicly, they will conclude he is bent on humiliating China, and the political cost of being seen to bend to him will rise. This happened with Mexico.

These are the 6 things Chinese people should know about the Sino-US trade war, according to the Communist Youth League. No 1: this 'attack' can be compared to the Japanese invasion of China. Read: bit.ly/2G5p2rf

#Japan's response reflects the lesson it has learned from the Sino-US rapprochement in the 1970s, after Washington failed to inform its ally before making the historic decision twitter.com/nytimes/status…

PS: To be clear -- we need to talk to North Korea. But Kim is not inviting Trump so that he can surrender North Korea's weapons. Kim is inviting Trump to demonstrate that his investment in nuclear and missile capabilities has forced the United States to treat him as an equal.
