The largest auction ever by Sotheby's in Asia of a single owner's art collection had been expected to raise $95 million to $135 million, but fetched $69.5 million as 10 items went unsold. Rising interest rates may have affected prices. https://t.co/c8NNb1vI41

Our profile of Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, whose measured, high-wire geopolitical maneuvering has been an under appreciated part of global politics. She tightened ties w/ the US and took advantage as China alienated others, with discipline+restraint: https://t.co/kVhmXbqLo4

RIP the great Victor Navasky: “I think it was Walter Cronkite who used to end his nightly newscasts by saying, ‘That’s the way it is.’ Well, I wanted to put out a magazine which would say: ‘That’s not the way it is at all. Let’s take another look.’”

As Russia's invasion of Ukraine stalled, its television propaganda fired on all cylinders. In recent months we went through 1000s of emails from Russia's biggest state broadcaster to learn how. It was a master class in constructing an alternative reality. https://t.co/s1fe1UxiYJ

As China contemplates life without zero Covid, people are asking whether the government should apologize for the trauma of the past few years. Traumatized by Covid, but Ruled by a Party That Never Apologizes. Latest from me

via @LiYuan6 By standing up to the government, they defied the perception of their generation. Some older Chinese people said the protesters made them feel more hopeful about the country’s future.

[Li Yuan袁莉 @LiYuan6]

In my interview with more than a dozen young Chinese protesters, I heard of a burst of pent-up anger and frustration with how the gov't implements “zero Covid.” But their anger and despair goes beyond that, all the way to questioning the rule of Mr. Xi. https://t.co/Yh4R78Bty4

Portugal has no coal mines, oil wells or gas fields. Its impressive hydropower production has been crippled this year by drought. But it is suddenly poised to play a critical role in managing Europe’s looming energy crisis. https://t.co/BtChliFvk4
