Are China's “Wolf Warrior” diplomats persuasive? In a new working paper, James Sundquist and I show that Wolf Warriors’ messages don't go over well with global audiences -- but that soft diplomacy that touts foreign aid shifts opinion in China's favor. https://t.co/3IlqaHWecn

Amid all the bleak news related to China’s climate action, this is a small step forward. It highlights the potential of the financial sector to move faster with the green transition. https://t.co/r9LsEi2MfF

I had the chance to ask the #WHO’s Dr Tedros if he was making a political call to fall into line with Beijing’s views by not inviting #Taiwan to the #WHA. The WHO legal adviser gave a 5-point answer. Thx to @yujiechentw for video link. Clip starts 16:55 https://t.co/sdMMeqzDo7 1/

The argument is simple: use recovery investment "not to restore the old world but to help create the new one." Will coronavirus halt or accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy? https://t.co/JbVsB5Kctf

Chinese engagement in Africa has always been really limited with its primary focus on African political elite and not the people. This Foreign Ministry statement exposes the weakness of that approach. Even corrupt African elite will respond to pressure from their people. #People

Holy shit

"China is currently evicting Africans in the country, reportedly in a way of shifting blame of the Coronavirus onto them"

Africans in Guangzhou are being evicted from their homes and turned away from hotels, forced onto the streets, amid rising xenophobia and concerns of a #COVID19 rebound.

WHO needs now to publish the source of Mr Kedros’ allegations. Who in Taiwan, what did they say, were the Taiwan authorities involved? Without supporting evidence, these allegations are worthless.

[Jiun-Da Lin @jiundalin]

Yes China should not become the convenient scapegoat. Yet should the cover up and misinformation be tolerated by the global community? What can be done to prevent this tragedy from happening again?

[Jessica Chen Weiss @jessicacweiss]

Since late Jan, there was enough information to indicate that COVID-19 could become a devastating pandemic. Other prudent governments, S. Korea & Taiwan, acted swiftly. Blaming China won't change the reality that the US did not. My op-ed with @jerometenk https://t.co/gKvdy83JHO

Fascinating piece by @JacintJordana @lewinontheedge & @AdamHolesch showing that the study of global governance has grown but remains.. not very global.

Most research centres are located in Europe, with relatively few in the US/Global South, and more in universities. Why?

Another sign of soaring xenophobia in China. A cartoon imagines foreigners as trash to be sorted. It invents their crimes against the virus response, mixes it with their malign motives in China, and fantasizes about committing violence against them. https://t.co/5G7TuAMWKO

Taiwan makes 15 million face masks a day and says it will donate 10 million a day to countries that need them. Taiwan handled Covid particularly ably, and it's absurd that it is not allowed to join the World Health Organization.
