Very gratifying to have my book out in Chinese. It was hard work to "untranslate" a lot of the book (go back and find the original Chinese) but it's very cool to have voices of teachers and parents in their original form.

//Pan-blue candidates for Taiwan’s 2024 legislative elections have framed the election as a choice between war and peace. In response, pan-green candidates have toned down their anti-China narrative. How do their strategies differ?//https://t.co/B9ZRxmSgL1

Honored to be included and also quite nervous about presenting the new work on Hong Kong & Taiwan for the first time. Trial by fire!

Screened “The Memo,” an independent documentary film on Shanghai lockdown and zero-Covid policy. Eye-opening artistic resistance!

I've spent the last five months conducting focus groups with college students 18-24 all around Taiwan. After hearing from hundreds of young voters so far, I find the amount of ink spilt on "the youth vote" often misses the mark.

“Taiwan: A Contested Democracy Under Threat”, by Jonathan Sullivan and Lev Nachman, is a timely entry at a time of increased international attention on Taiwan.

We’ve invited @lnachman32 to give a talk about the book, which is out this month

Looking forward to screening “Silence in the dust” and the post-screening discussion with Chinese documentary-film director, Wen Hai.

Such a joy to work with an all-star set of collaborators on this event. We'll have a fantastic mix of academics and activists representing the respective strengths of our organizing committee: @cornellilr @labornotes @ntugarc @asianlabour

If you listen to Sun carefully, you’d realize why she uses her real name. She has nothing to lose, already so before the interview.

[Li Yuan袁莉 @LiYuan6]

She Rose From Poverty as China Prospered. Then It Made Her Poor Again. This is a story about promise, resilience and government brutality. Sun's story explains what small biz owners went through in Xi's China and why the country is in an economic quagmire https://t.co/vCjRAwxUIK

@lnachman32 Congratulations 🎉🎊 let’s celebrate!

It's that time when faculty begins to assemble new syllabi for their courses. Here is a list of key scholarly contributions in social & political theory to class analysis from the past 12 months or so to use. No excuse to skip class. Add what I missed if you have something! 1/17

//The scope and depth of the draft Patriotic Education Law, however, reveals that the leadership is well aware of the Party’s biggest vulnerabilities: its wavering popularity among youths, the extent of its power in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, its influence on overseas Chinese/

[Ian Johnson @iandenisjohnson]

A privilege of working at @CFR_org is having smart young colleagues like @Kathyhuang96 and @KayRXZou, who have just published via @thechinaproj this timely article on a new effort to inculcate young people from ideas that challenge CCP rule. 1/2

Greatest pleasure to moderate a wonderful discussion on migration x writing with the terrific @Epo555 and Sally for an exhibition hosted by Garden of Hope in Taipei.

@lnachman32 @ginollopez It’s interesting how the Taiwanese food companies balance spiciness with sweetness. The KFC 青花椒 fried chicken also tasted quite sweet to me.
