I am quoted in @thewirechina article by @GarrettOBrien17 on the #DRC🇨🇩’s increasing assertiveness in dealings with #China🇨🇳 firms dominating its mining sector, including for critical minerals like #cobalt: “A good indicator of Congo coming into its own...”

Our new issue is out, with a fabulous cover story by @GarrettOBrien17 on a dispute over the rights to the largest cobalt mine in the world, in the DRC. https://t.co/hFWyGkpede
When the DRC government sent officials to one of its largest mines, armed guards blocked them from entering. This was just part of the standoff that is unfolding at a China Moly mine. My article on what happens when the DRC resists its Chinese partners: https://t.co/uWiEK0JwyG

Had the privilege of speaking with @BonnieGlaser for this week's issue of @thewirechina about why the U.S. needs to help defend Taiwan from invasion today, not when it is too late. https://t.co/dc9Uy2PRby
Who are the "key opinion leaders" in China? How big is the market? And why are some of the so-called KOLs missing? Nice work by @GarrettOBrien17 https://t.co/mHXnje1VFo
Chinese diplomats hosted a Horn of Africa Peace Conference in Addis last week, acting as their latest foray into "active diplomacy." I was lucky enough to talk to @LBenabdallah@Dr_J_Calabrese@OvigweEguegu@SeifudeinAdem about it. https://t.co/HJ6ic5vMcD
