@Kaiping_Chen and I have a new paper out in PSRM! 🧵(1/n)

[PSRM Journal @PSRMJournal]

🏛️ How does patronage shape communication within government bureaucracies?

➡️ Employing rare new data from China, @jee_haemin & @Kaiping_Chen find that patronage ties increase upward information flows, but not public-facing performance and responsiveness https://t.co/vZghden62S

New paper with @jenjpan and @xuyiqing in @BJPolS! “Selection, Stability, and Shock: Political Attitudes of Chinese Students at Home and Abroad” Does studying in the US make Chinese students more liberal, or does it trigger a nationalist backlash? https://t.co/85nBjJBB7p

We hope this work sparks new discussions about communication within (autocratic) bureaucracies - who relays information to whom? What kind of info is passed along? And how do political actors display initiative in shaping perceptions? (10/n)

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.
