What do I mean by “authoritarian teleology”? (Thank you @kaiserkuo for the plug!) Broadly speaking, it’s a style of thinking that interprets whatever an authoritarian govt does as a “strategy” to “stay/remain/survive in power.” 1/n

Russian President #Putin, on the other hand, REPEATS the "NO LIMITS" 提法/formula from 2022: Russia-China ties "surpass Cold War-time military-political alliances in their quality, with no one to constantly order and no one to constantly obey, without limitations or taboos." 3/20

In this new @chinaquarterly research @sbrazys_ucd @ste_mueller & I use quantitative text analysis to study changes in "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy" before/after a May 2021 CCP Politburo study session

Hot off the presses (and open access - thanks @UCDLibrary!): https://t.co/KRLX0Pqael

I cannot figure out why China changed the covid policy so abruptly. Some political motives must be at play but I could not solicit an explanation from people who should know. Any ideas?

1/ No doubt Xi's challenges w/ Covid are daunting. But to me his problem starts with where he wants this to end. At the end of the day, when covid is behind us, Xi wants to say the CCP handled it better than any political system in the world (esp US/Western-led democracies).

As a social movement scholar, I think the current discussion on the multi-site protests in China has misplaced its focus on whether it would lead to regime change. It is not the point. Let's celebrate PEOPLE and their participation. My preliminary observations.

Especially when observing China

There's a tendency to freak out over day to day news

But from a historical perspective, headlines may be just a small blip on the trend line

Important question is: What's the trend line?

1: Two things jump out at me immediately from the US readout: The first is the reference to joint working groups - suggests a basis for (modest) progress and that there was some Chinese give on the suspension of various dialogues after the Pelosi visit. https://t.co/n0HRTiMdcp
