For my first CSIS publication, I am thrilled to have covered the recent protests in a small Chinese city over a viral school bullying case. We recreated the event timeline, analyzed the police crackdown, and illustrated the growing dissent in China.

@Metrorailinfo @wmata How do we get refunds for these significant delays? It’s already the second time in two weeks where a 40-min ride turned double or more.

@BethanyAllenEbr There you have the next viral Xi meme!

The other shoe finally dropped, and the social backlash will be intense. But like so many other greying economies, China realized it must be done: China Raises Retirement Age for the First Time Since the 1950s. https://t.co/Bl8kVkIx3c

In my first @ForeignPolicy story, I analyzed the political calculations behind the first large #deportation flight of Chinese migrants from U.S. since 2018, following the historic "zouxian" movement. #immigration #China #Trump #2024Election #BorderSecurity

@ewong @nytimes @LaurieLPatton What a journey back to an intellectual home. Congrats Mr. Wong!

#BlackMythWukong, dubbed as China's first AAA game with state backing, has become a poster child of social discourse around censorship, soft power & "wokeness." It's a fun but surprising entry point to understand China today, and it's an instant sensation.

@BethanyAllenEbr @thewirechina Congrats Bethany! Incredible angle that enriches our understanding of this space.

@ayurellahm @TheAtlantic Congrats Ayurella! You are such a source of inspiration, and this is proof that human-interest stories never get old. I'm so glad you were able to tell it and sure you did too!

[Han Chen @HarryChen93]

@aliceysu This is definitely a surprise episode! I think they said it really well that Pangdonghai reminded them that there are so many stories beyond the big cities, and media outlets really need to get out there more. Agree with that 💯

[Han Chen @HarryChen93]

@ayurellahm Thank you so much for all the support Ayurella!

[Han Chen @HarryChen93]
