So true. Now I'm writing a novel, I'm always shocked at how the characters start doing things I never expected.

@GabrielCorsetti Agreed. The deaths with MRNA vaccines and greater ICU capacity in the UK/US are substantial. Multiply those numbers by China's population and you have a political problem.

@CIA_in_China @chinarhyming @YuanfenYang @FT You have to live outside China for 7 years to get a job with any kind of govt security clearance after which your China knowledge will be degraded.

@Penelopy_s @raglandwrites @sleepdoc5 It's possible, but gruelling. Had I understood what it involved perhaps I would not have done it. Letting go of the idea that you run the childcare/home. Daughter dressed like a scarecrow. Didn't know the other mums as well as my husband did.

@Penelopy_s @raglandwrites @sleepdoc5 Restarted my career when my daughter was 2. Hugely leant on husband, hired help, moved to cut out commute so could be close to office. TOP TIP: Let my husband be the primary parent (we both worked).

@raglandwrites recently listened to a podcast with an academic whose ideal working day was working from 3am-7am, a four hour sleep and then starting again at 10/11. How transformative not to have to consider anyone else.

they wake me at midnight - it's urgent. a new speech from Beijing and I'm the only man fluent in party-speak. I look over the paper, frowning. "同志们." I say. "comrades. And 社会主义...socialism. They're up to something communist alright." the president nods, listening intently

@Cloudysunni Hello, the unroll you asked for: https://t.co/qLOdnDTNEn Enjoy :) 🤖

@martinpatience Top right hand corner one.

@davidfickling @yuanyi_z And the system crashes every 10 minutes so you have to start again regularly.

[Rachel Morarjee @morarjee]

@Jeremy_Hunt All true. But aren't you the architect of this mess? Didn't your battle with junior doctors lay the foundations for where we are now?

[Rachel Morarjee @morarjee]

@JNBPage @WSJ @TheEconomist How exciting. A great job and I remember how much you all loved India. Hope our paths cross again soon.

@amyhawk_ @jwassers @JenFerrariAdler @BarbaraDemick The Spirit Catches You is still one of my best books of all time. This year I loved Ta Nehisi Coates - Between the Dream and Me.

@juliasreading Best thread ever. Made my day. Can't believe everyone lives in such gorgeous rainbows.

[David Fickling @davidfickling]

Do you want a thread exploring the links between:

*that ship stuck in Suez
*the Trojan War
*the founding of Singapore
*and Chinese foreign policy, from the Belt and Road and South China Sea to Taiwan?

Of course you do!

@luoshanji My daughter grew up in Beijing and still does this, despite living in a household with two native English speakers.

@ianbremmer The UK and China look about the same colour. Things aren't great here since Brexit, but they sure aren't that bad.

@raykwong That was Meghan's first lunch with the relatives.
