Just out in @PolBehavior! @HongshenZhu (@lingnanuni), Melanie Manion (@DukePoliSci), and I look at whether CCP attempts to address their mistakes in the wake of a high-profile governance failure restore citizen trust. TLDR: it depends.
The Chinese internet periodically sees public outcry over various governance failures, from public health to food safety. The government has weathered each of them by pledging rectification and punishing officials. Do these efforts restore trust and leave the government unscathed? We find that such corrections only work for citizens without firsthand knowledge of similar crises in the past.

@HongshenZhu@Brad_Setser Love to see two of my favorite political economists locked in a polite twitter debate 😊 by way of introduction, @HongshenZhu is my primary co author from our PhD program at Duke, now assistant prof in HK. @Brad_Setser is CFR trade/debt/cap flows extraordinaire. Carry on!
I am in Tanzania and this is where I’m having dinner. This spot is run by a couple from Xi’an and has some of the best Chinese food I’ve had outside of China.
Even though I technically graduated a while ago, it feels real today. Thank you to my family, Melanie, my committee, the Duke China Mafia and the 2019 @DukePoliSci cohort 💙
