New blog post! #COMPASblogs

Think that sport is about nationalism? You’re probably not an athlete!

@AntBreach I like this take, but the other problem with London nightlife is that it can easily cost you an arm and a leg. Be it a chicken or egg problem.

This is Xinhua Gate, the main entrance to the Zhongnanhai compound, where the entire central leadership resides and works, including Xi Jinping.

Elite paratroopers have wrested control over the gate, cunningly disguised as the five middle-aged dudes who always stand there. /2

Today in Beijing, I investigated the #chinacoup so you don’t have to. At considerable personal risk, I ventured out to some neuralgic key points in the city. Disturbing finds. Brace yourselves. /1
