Here’s one of the more uplifting stories I’ve worked on in a while. I went to Mae Sot to hang out with Burmese women who are trying soccer for the first time — in exile. Stunning photos by ⁦@laurendecicca⁩ https://t.co/1kdBxhwsEJ

Calling Ms. Wang “one of the most respected journalists covering China today,” Mr. Kahn said that her expulsion “follows a campaign of harassment and threats directed at her over professional, accurate and evenhanded reporting.”

Breaking News: The Philippines Senate erupted into chaos after what appeared to be gunshots were fired from inside the chamber after a top ally of Rodrigo Duterte, the country’s former leader, said police were coming to arrest him. https://t.co/0QpTgkeNsN

When I started looking into the power of the Catholic Church in the Philippines, one name kept on coming up: Michal Gatchalian. Back before the issue of clergy abuse became a global scandal, he had challenged the church in the Philippines. https://t.co/NtejGpYtUp

[Cleve V. Arguelles @CleveArguelles]

Quoted on The New York Times. With the coup in the Senate despite the overwhelming House vote to impeach her, it is becoming clearer that the game plan of VP Sara Duterte and her allies never really changed: prevent the trial from happening at all. Not because they can convincingly defeat the charges in a full public proceeding, but because an actual impeachment trial would mean weeks, perhaps even months, of nationally televised testimony, documentary evidence, financial records, and witness accounts laid bare before the public. The strategy, then, is obstruction before exposure. Because once a trial begins, the political danger is not confined to conviction in the Senate. It is the sudden erosion of public support for VP Sara that comes from sustained exposure and scrutiny of evidence against her.

“Even though the Senate is unlikely to convict Ms.
Duterte, the airing of the accusations against Ms.
Duterte for weeks could have tarnished her brand, said Cleve Arguelles.

"There's a well established precedent in Philippine politics that those who experience this kind of exposure end up losing public support by the time of the election period," said Mr. Arguelles. "So that should worry her a lot."”

Having been in “stealth mode” for a little while, this week I can finally say that @CarnegieChina is officially open for business.

It was wonderful to see familiar faces and meet new friends. We couldn’t have asked for a warmer reception in Singapore.

Great appreciation for our distinguished guests who traveled from Beijing, Delhi, Jakarta, and DC to celebrate with us. What a fantastic line-up of speakers that covered the waterfront from tech and geopolitics to Asian agency and whether we’re moving to a “multilateral world with strong bipolar features.”

It was a privilege to be alongside @CarnegieEndow leadership Tino Cuéllar @EvanFeigenbaum and Daniel Baer for this special occasion.

I remarked at the outset that grappling with China’s arrival as a great power is a team sport – having a community of scholars, industry practitioners, thought leaders, and policymakers and diplomats is essential. We intend to continue to build and strengthen it.

As the first and only American think tank with a physical presence in Singapore, I’m excited about what lies ahead. This may be a new chapter for Carnegie China, but it is only the first chapter.

It was a privilege to join @damienics, @VGokhale59, @dinopattidjalal, Bilahari Kausikan, @mawangcun1, and an amazing cast of colleagues and friends from Singapore, Washington, New Delhi, Jakarta, Beijing, and beyond to formally launch @CarnegieChina in Singapore. The East Asia-based research center of @CarnegieEndow, focused on China’s regional and global role, the Center will cast a critical eye on China's strategic and economic trajectory from our new base in Singapore. This was a happy arrival event to welcome our center to the Lion City.

Great to be back in the Straits Room of the Fullerton Hotel, where we used to host the Fullerton Lectures, for the launch of @CarnegieChina’s new base in Singapore. Nice to see so many old friends. Congrats to @EvanFeigenbaum and @damienics on a great first set of discussions.
