Very useful post. The charted progress of the flotilla is telling indeed.
See also my take on the "10-dash line" and what the CCP intends to do with it, from June 2023.
China's persistent development of artificial "territory" around reefs and islands portends more than a projection of maritime power. My assessment: it's about claims of maritime sovereignty being turned into "virtual territory" - virtual LAND - in order to administer it as land, and project power from it as if it's land.

When the orchestra's conductor was fired without warning, he was quite disconcerted
So he began a new job as a conductor for a railroad, after he was trained
Unfortunately he touched a third rail, which led to simultaneously getting fired while taking a final conductor position

Did you know: without adding carbon black, most tires would be white or off white because natural rubber is white. Uncolored tires would look like the Michelin Man. Also, those little rubber hairs on the side are there to release air and gases during the manufacturing process.

LLM social science papers are often either boring or riddled with basic analytical problems. Per Engzell and I tried to come up with a workflow that would take a human-prompted idea, and actually run with it:
