@EditorBTB @DavidLammy Looks like @DavidLammy has been reading the Labour Party Foreign Policy Group report "China's Place in a Progressive British Foreign Policy" from Nov 21 https://t.co/n98ByLO9th

@adjwilson £7 for a month on Discovery+. I pay for exactly two months a year covering Aussie and French Opens (the ones not on Prime). Think they’ll do you a free trial too

@ElliottZaagman He was still giving talks as recently as September but haven’t seen anything since

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

@BelleTimsit Thanks! You can find a video of the talk around which these clans was based here. Personally, not a massive fan of such typologies, but as an opp to share my thoughts on the topic, this was fun!

I am a self-indulgent internationalist, what r u

But for real, this was full of interesting insights: https://t.co/bOWUujunE3

@AdamTyndall @jwassers @jmchatwin @Bkerrychina @jagevans @limlouisa @goldkorn @samgeall @kevincarrico @BeijingPalmer @PM_Thornton @SusanShirk1 @Dave_Brophy @LetaHong @gadyepstein @naomi_rovnick Another work by @tsmullaney “Coming To Terms With the Nation” is great for some Maoist context as well as ideas on importance of classification/stratification in governance

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

@NavinaHeyden This is such a flawed argument, relying solely on the idea that China upholds rule of law uniformly across the country. It does not. Laws are changed, ignored, manipulated constantly to fit political and ideological agendas, often in the name of another nebulous law or security.

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

@NavinaHeyden Do you not see the irony in railing against Twitter for potential free speech violations while simultaneously excusing China’s regime of media censorship?

@_Maria_Faust_ @MrRogerC @YCW_Global @TU_Berlin_CCST Hey Maria! Unfortunately as it turns out there was no recording...sorry! It's a bit old now, but here's an earlier recording of a talk in Berlin: https://t.co/sYOTPyxE9A

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

Possibly too late to register, but there'll be a video after the matter...speaking tonight with @MrRogerC and @YCW_Global on the latest updates to China's social credit system https://t.co/PxXOO6ZwGx

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

@ChinaLawTransl8 @MrRogerC @YCW_Global Ha! Virus-resistant, like any good Black Mirror-inspired system ;)

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

@Strat122 Nice 😎 what did you make of China Imagined? I've dipped in and out and seems worthy of more attention

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

@carwyn Possibly of interest? https://t.co/tK8ltUuFR6

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

@Strat122 @kendraschaefer @MareikeOhlberg @merics_eu A nice study, but No.1 "possible explanation" for differences between German and Chinese respondents = "Chinese culture traditionally puts more emphasis on society than on the individual" 🤦‍♂️

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

@MyriamFrancoisC @BeijingPalmer @Fly_Norwegian I had the same - Norwegian flight to Boston not cancelled but I couldn’t take it due to ban. Insurance refused to cover. Norwegian will, however, let you rebook for another flight with no fees. So now I’m flying to Brazil for 10 days in November ;)

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

With #AAS2020 cancelled and London going #covidcrazy, I am social distancing in style halfway up a mountain in Wales for the next week. No internet, no plumbing. Time to crack on with some theory...

[China Digital @China_Digital]

This is probably the best primer on China's cyber architecture available at the moment. Great work by our friends @EUCyberDirect!

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

Cracks in the facade. People's Daily (Chinese) reports on shouts of "Fake, it's all fake" by residents in Wuhan, directed towards Vice Premier Sun Chuanlan on his potemkin-style tour of a local quarantine zone. Tweet on PD English since deleted, but still visible in Chinese

[人民日報 People's Daily @PDChinese]

【#武漢人向中央領導大喊之後】5日，中央指導組在 #武漢 考察。網傳視頻顯示，有居民從家裡向指導組大喊“假的”，反映社區假裝送菜送肉給業主，實際工作不到位的問題。副總理孫春蘭當即要求深入��查，不要掩飾矛盾。目前，武漢已派人對該社區逐一上門調查，了解居民訴求。https://t.co/8XRY6faClw

[Manya Koetse @manyapan]

It's 2020. Time to discuss: China's Social Credit System, where are we now? Event with @schneiderfa77, Liu Jun, Rogier Creemers, and Adam Knight.

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

@ElliottZaagman Also popular internet slang for ma le ge bi (妈了个屄), a slightly ruder version of 'motherfucker'

[Adam Knight @AdamDKnight]

When @globaltimesnews correspondents start to quote Les Mis songs that call for revolution, you know something's not quite right.

(Double irony given HK protesters' penchant for exactly the same number - and Chen Qingqing's voracious hatred towards them)
