Not sure how relevant the African/Asian perspective of today's Taiwan events are, but perhaps worth noting?? Original source here, a great read for historical parallels to this moment. https://t.co/zKUAbl8b07

[Donald Santacaterina @PropTranslation]

Perhaps relevant for this new #Taiwan moment is revisiting Mao's decision to ramp up the Second Taiwan Straights crisis in 1958 by shelling Jinmen island. TL;DR is that these moments are almost always more about posturing and how the media/international community react

Our military troops must follow the orders, as well as our media and propaganda
units, Mao emphasized."

@fravel @MariaRepnikova @CNN @FT @WSJ Might be worthy to note that the CNN version of the story is almost as ambiguous as Pelosi's own statements, citing only "a US official" and using this anonymous source to claim that she will be in Taiwan.

@NeysunM Edit:line, not lime

[Donald Santacaterina @PropTranslation]

@NeysunM The "mass line" 群众路线 has been central to party organization since the 1940s and straight through to the contemporary period! A clear cut through lime that we should start taking seriously. See Michael schoenhals work on mass dictatorship, for example

To all young China scholars in the field attempting to make arguments about the legitimacy of taking socialist thought seriously (as I am) "The Maoism of Prc History" is an absolute boon to the field, and timely at that. Thanks to @JeremyJierong and others for the contribution!

In 1885, more than two dozen Chinese were massacred in Rock Springs, Wyoming. A year later, the Qing govt received a check from the U.S. govt for $174,000, just a little more than the property damage that Qing investigators had assessed: https://t.co/swyDKyafvG by @jayjamescarter

@NeysunM Amazing how much "national security" and "intelligence operations" effort and funding are going into these investigations, which would usually be of no value to anyone outside of a scientific community specifically focusing on coronaviruses...
