I'm in @Diplomat_APAC on Taiwan and the historical lineage of economic experiments on Hainan.

[The Diplomat @Diplomat_APAC]

@cfmeyskens I was in south China for 2 months over the summer. There was a greater sense of discontentment among some college-educated young people and nobody wanted to talk about COVID but not general malaise or crisis. Lots of vacant buildings but not anything too different from mid 2010s.

Have you got caught out with big numbers in Chinese?

You mistranslated a deal of hundreds of billions to only a few millions?

Try this framework to reduce Chinese number anxiety!

And it only comes with a processesing wait time of several years. The system is a disgrace.

Here's what out-of-control bureaucracy looks like. The Green card application today (all those pages on the left) v. 2003 (those 4 pages on the right). Understand this: We got no new laws during this time. We just got new bureaucrats https://t.co/9hN6ZOQJsU

@EricTSchluessel As patterns go, this one seems, well, pretty bad! Also, yes, what a great book.

One of the hardest footnotes I've ever seen.

who'd have thought world leaders wearing "non-Western" clothes could elicit such insecurity among a certain group of people.

This seems like about as good an outcome as possible.
