@EvanFeigenbaum 100%. The Chinese Immigration Authorities may have indeed changed the official translation of his name, but that had nothing to do with the political decision to waive their visa restrictions on the U.S. SecState. 移民局 didn’t need to change his name, just get the order.

Also, noting: when next you hear someone say "oh, if only the negotiators on the JCPOA had tried harder, we could've gotten Iran to give up its nuclear program," this whole episode is a useful demonstration of why that assumption is wrong.

This isn't just me being snotty. 1/6

@USA_China_Talk Thanks @USA_China_Talk for posting these great videos highlighting the Flying Tigers!

On August 1, 1941, the American Volunteer Group (AVG) was officially formed, with its headquarters in Kunming and Claire Chennault as its commander. The AVG later became the famed Flying Tigers. On December 20, 1941, shortly after arriving in China, the Flying Tigers faced their first aerial battle. In this video, Flying Tigers researcher and filmmaker Jim Fields @GRTRtech recounts this air combat.

@USA_China_Talk What’s a precious find! Meeting some of the last surviving Chinese soldiers who fought with the Flying Tigers and the American and Chinese families of these brave men was one of the greatest pleasures of my time in SW China. It’s a wonderful legacy of friendship and cooperation.

This on par if not better than the Olympic James Bond scene.

@mtgreenee Not sure if you realize this, but cancer is not contagious. So social distancing won’t help. COVID, however, is. Masks and social distancing work. More of it would have prevented many needless deaths.

@johnmullinax But is it fb compatible?

@DSchoolenberg @jordanschneider I’d throw a shout out to Ted Osius or Virginia Foote. Both have been working in, on, or around Vietnam for decades.

@mattyglesias Denying our flaws as a nation makes us weaker. Recognizing those and working to address them is what makes us and keeps us strong.

[Jim Mullinax @jiminjava]

@TimDuy How long did that take you?

Such sad news. I met Robin in HK - he was a dedicated scholar and activist, dedicated to doing good for the right reasons. Our conversations ranged from his work to music to food and were always lively. Condolences to his lovely wife, family and friends. RIP

Tzu-i Chuang was referred to as the “most famous diplomatic wife” in China. Then she became the target of a vicious, monthslong attack on social media. “I was taken as a symbol, not a person." @lizalinwsj https://t.co/Bwl1ZnRqvd via @WSJ

@TimDuy Very cool!
