Insecure work is front of mind. How do we get corporations to care about women homeworkers at the bottom of global supply chains? @AnnieMDelaney supply chain lead @BHRIGHT_RMIT has explored this in her book Homeworking Women https://t.co/W8KAPlXCQ8 #bizhumanrights#GenderEquality
Some incredible reporting here from @JennaMC_Laugh and @zachsdorfman, including the concern among intelligence officials that China may have shared hacked OPM data with the Kremlin, who in turn leveraged it to identify undercover CIA spies.

Managing foreign expectations of US commitment and authority in the Indo-Pacific presents a significant challenge for policy makers, especially as Washington’s attention is increasingly focused on countering China. #foreignpolicy2019
Latest @pewresearch survey shows China increasingly unpopular in Asia, North America, and Western Europe. Never a good sign when your closest neighbors are the ones who distrust you the most. https://t.co/jKk9y7ZhL1
Many diplomats & global bureaucrats who make a career dependent on the UN, be it as a human rights official or climate envoy, tend to suppress within their minds a terrible truth: that everything they do ultimately requires support from a majority that includes murderous regimes.
Enhancing economic ties with ASEAN should be a priority for the US, especially if they want to discourage South East Asian countries from taking BRI finance. #foreignpolicy2019
A poll conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce Shanghai shows there is greater concern with China's slowing economy than Trump's trade war. #foreignpolicy2019
The cancellation of Trump's Taliban talks highlights a fundamental lack of strategy in dealing with Afghanistan & has potential to exacerbate the conflict. Also, if the Afghan gov are unhappy with concessions made, how can peace prevail? #foreignpolicy2019 https://t.co/dzIQKBsK4D
A thought provoking debate on the productivity of Trump's foreign policy on China. An important point raised - the success or failure of mounting an effective response to the challenge of China will be decisive in shaping the future. #foreignpolicy2019

China will invest $280bn developing Iran's oil, gas and petrochemicals sectors + $120bn in upgrading Iran's transport and manufacturing infrastructure. Up to 5,000 Chinese security personnel on the ground in Iran to protect Chinese projects. https://t.co/ZvMhujmwTl
Really great to see a new report today from the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, which recognises that China's social credit system extends to foreign companies and will have an impact beyond the Chinese market: https://t.co/dGOauM5vOO (1/2)
Greenland's geography makes it of great military significance to the US, however clearly offering to buy the state is a diplomatic failure. Instead a well crafted engagement strategy should be pursued as the US, Greenland & Denmark all share security concerns. #foreignpolicy2019
Trump's offer to buy Greenland is not a wild-eyed fluke; it reflects a steadily increasing American interest in Greenland that is spurred by fear of Chinese and Russian encroachments. https://t.co/xNUs0ZsfEL
An important US policy rec- the strategic importance of protecting civilians during military operations abroad should not be overlooked, partnering w/ forces that abuse/kill civilians is detrimental to US interests in peace and security. #foreignpolicy2019 https://t.co/5QGFMaXI40
I'm repeatedly flabbergasted by #Catholic Church legal and moral position in this case. That a faith-based institution could sanction this historical revisionism casts doubt over all promises of contrition it made during Royal Commission. https://t.co/nQmbwAppXg

Not acting will continue to implicitly endorse Saudi behavior, and would make it more difficult for U.S. allies to believe that future threats of an embargo are credible. https://t.co/V5X8bUK5ri
