1/ Happy to see that the FT cites my and @shinghonlam research on PRC staffing in the UN. While the PRC staff footprint may be small, PRC ambition to grow China's personnel numbers and reshape the UN certainly isn't. ft.com/content/e28902…

Dennis came from a single-parent family and his mom had to sell her apartment to pay tuition. A link to help out: gofundme.com/f/wdrbz6 @UChicago must do more to keep students safe than offering free lyft rides after 9pm. Two students were killed in broad daylight this year.

Afternoon run, 31/12.

If you've signed up for #APSA2020 come join our China roundtable! @shinghonlam and I have a new paper tracking the connection between PRC nationals holding international leadership positions and China's semantic influence at the UN.

@shinghonlam and I unpack China’s ‘influence’ at the UN 🇺🇳: PRC influence isn’t monolithic, goes beyond sidelining Taiwan + (like other great states) uses a variety of methods to modify UN from within @RichardGowan1 @pass_blue @columlynch @TheUNTimes @undispatch #WIPOElection2020

Early in his career I.M. Pei designed these two buildings that I see almost everyday in Chicago. Today many of the inhabitants are international students at the University of Chicago.

How big a scandal was it in Hong Kong when a Cantopop star was caught in an illicit kiss on video? Well, the Building Department weighed in. So did an anticorruption agency. And Hong Kong's largest bus company. nyti.ms/2ZnCRvm

Yan Xuetong calls for Beijing to OPEN more to deal with Trump: “...draw upon the experiences of Deng Xiaoping… more opening of all sectors...more internet freedom will considerably improve China's strategic competitiveness.” Dare Beijing's policy-makers take his proposal?😀

Had some of the most thought-provoking talks in the Bookworm in Beijing, and sharing similar feelings about the capital too. theinitium.com/article/201807… via @initiumnews
