My paper with @alice_oven and @BasiaYoxon has had another flurry of coverage in response to this news, which is very welcome. In particular, our figures are cited in a widely syndicated NPR article.

Do Chinese people have access to Russian products? Yes, they do. I took these pics last month at a Russian Goods Expo in central Xianyang, China. While nearby malls were busy, the expo had fewer visitors—possibly due to boycott calls after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Great to see our newest article on X - it's open access so have a look at our surprising findings - over 10% of people in China would be willing to take part in anti-Russian boycotts. @XueBai_LUCC@RQTurcsanyi

We show that citizens who embrace more liberal political ideology are most likely to express that they would be willing to boycott Russian products in China.
Out paper is available here and it's open access:

Too excited for this!
My article on capitalism's secular tendency towards stagnation , the self-undermining logic of productivity growth and the critique of the manufacturing fetish will be available in French in the next issue of A-M-A'
💬 “This is a very narrow choke-point … Russia and Belarus together would find it easy to block Nato from sending reinforcements to protect the Baltic states.” @BasiaYoxon
Controversial opinion, but I really don’t think that a trade union should have an opinion on the monarchy. What does that have to do with my workload or my pay? Would rather UCU focused on the things that really matter.
The most useful thing by far I've read relevant to the MAB and punitive deductions is the government guidance below. I don't think I've seen an example of an employer threatening deductions for partial performance who has fully complied. Share! #ucuRISING https://t.co/nnpt9k29z6
I’ve had a light teaching term (following a punishing autumn term). Bristol University plans to deduct 50% - 100% of my pay for not marking a total of 6 essays. @Bristol_UCU@ucu#ucuRISING
Absolutely no way I’m voting yes to employer proposals until they all - without exception - cease this behaviour AND offer guarantees of non-repetition.
This, to me, is an absolute sine qua non.
Get your house in order @UCEA1.

Outrageous from @UCEA1 - insisting that unions give up on any / all industrial action for 12 months as a pre-condition for talks. Can't wait for those ballots to land...
I'm re-sharing this fantastic piece by @moraitisalexis because it's crucial for understanding the context of the current struggles over pension reform in France
When I first started learning Polish - and had mastered animal names but not plural endings - I used to think how nice it was that they warned drivers there could be dogs in the road
