@PaulGinVA @cremieuxrecueil Grandma no longer needs the huge house (kids have moved out) in a prime location (no work commutes). She sells the house to a young family with kids, who benefits from both. Net increase in welfare.

@kingofthecoastt Plot twist: If my net worth is <$10, taking the bet is completely rational

@cherylwoooo Congratulations!!!

@cherylwoooo Probably a matter of time until complete market exit...

@gonglei89 And others are suggesting many countries with similar historical circumstance are not grasped by the same irredentist frenzy, which surely is worth discussing as well? It seems that you're refusing to recognize that "China's position" is the result of deliberate CCP propaganda.

Maybe the class is at 8am? 🤔

[Yasheng Huang 黄亚生 @YashengHuang]

Maybe it is a balloon effect: Only half of the students who registered for my class on Chinese economy and business showed up on the first day of the class. I have seen decreasing enrollments over the years just at a time when the need to understand China rises exponentially.

Quick check: it's 2023

Good news everyone! Stata now lets you put estimates into a table

今天发生了太多没想到的事情，从早上的北京和新疆，再到下午最开始南广的一张白纸，演变成今晚那么多学校的参与和响应，直至上海乌鲁木齐中路人们的呐喊。
2022年11月26日，热泪从中国的最西一直流到中国的最东，很荣幸和大家一起见证了载入史册的一天。
晚安。

Li Zhanshu, Chairman of the Standing Committee of NPCC: China understands & supports Russia’s core interest & decisions. Re Ukraine, Russia was cornered by the U.S./NATO & had to defend itself & its people.

@fan_hongda @GeringTuvia Read your article. You really think Ukrainians are idiots, don't you?

One of Kyiv’s outskirts waiting for invaders. All of a sudden, someone plays Ukrainian anthem on a trumpet. And from everywhere: “Glory to Ukraine!”
#StandWithUkriane

[Fort Bend County Judge Daniel Wong @FBC_Judge]

Pray for Ukraine.

Crowds in Donbas, Ukraine are singing #Ukraine's national anthem ❤🇺🇦 last night before the Russian invasion.

[Eerik N Kross 🇪🇪🇺🇦🇮🇱🇪🇺 @EerikNKross]

The Estonian Parliament just unanimously passed a resolution condemning the Russian aggression against Ukraine. It entails important language. I encourage everyone to read it and think about the gravity of what is said.

As a person who is familiar with Chinese system, I don’t believe Peng Shuai has received retaliation and repression speculated by foreign media for the thing people talked about.

[wta @WTA]

Statement by Steve Simon, WTA Chairman & CEO:

The statement released today by Chinese state media concerning Peng Shuai only raises my concerns as to her safety and whereabouts. Peng Shuai must be allowed to speak freely, without coercion or intimidation from any source.
