(1/5) With the ongoing discussions about Beijing's 13th National Women’s Congress and its implications for gender equality in China, I’m excited to share some preliminary findings from my PhD dissertation, which has been published with the @GDP_Center. bu.edu/gdp/2023/10/04…

My first blog post is live! A PhD in social science has fundamentally reshaped how I think about AI – from ethics to human behavior to the unintended consequences of large-scale systems. #how-a-social-science-phd-reshaped-my-thinking-towards-ai" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">si-wu.com/#how-a-social-…

New post dropped! Admittedly it’s been a while but we’re back. This time with a piece with Prof Martin Whyte, who can tell you all about his trailblazing sociology research in China from the 70s onwards, and whether China’s social volcano of inequality will erupt.

My dearest mentor, Professor Joseph Fewsmith, unfortunately passed away this week. I wrote this little tribute with great pain. But no writing is enough to express my love and gratitude for Joe.

My new book, *Politicizing Business*, releases today @CambridgeUP! Central theme: in China’s political economy, the Party-state systematically enlists businesses to serve its political needs and those of its officials. The politicization of business is rooted in authoritarianism and often follows sectoral patterns. A🧵 amazon.com/Politicizing-B…
