1/ Happy to see that the FT cites my and @shinghonlam research on PRC staffing in the UN. While the PRC staff footprint may be small, PRC ambition to grow China's personnel numbers and reshape the UN certainly isn't.

Dennis came from a single-parent family and his mom had to sell her apartment to pay tuition. A link to help out: gofundme.com/f/wdrbz6 @UChicago must do more to keep students safe than offering free lyft rides after 9pm. Two students were killed in broad daylight this year.

@shinghonlam and I unpack China’s ‘influence’ at the UN 🇺🇳: PRC influence isn’t monolithic, goes beyond sidelining Taiwan (like other great states) uses a variety of methods to modify UN from within @RichardGowan1 @pass_blue @columlynch @TheUNTimes @undispatch #WIPOElection2020

Early in his career I.M. Pei designed these two buildings that I see almost everyday in Chicago. Today many of the inhabitants are international students at the University of Chicago.

How big a scandal was it in Hong Kong when a Cantopop star was caught in an illicit kiss on video? Well, the Building Department weighed in. So did an anticorruption agency. And Hong Kong's largest bus company. nyti.ms/2ZnCRvm

Yan Xuetong calls for Beijing to OPEN more to deal with Trump: “...draw upon the experiences of Deng Xiaoping… more opening of all sectors...more internet freedom will considerably improve China's strategic competitiveness.” Dare Beijing's policy-makers take his proposal?😀

Chinese scholar Yan Xuetong: Since Trump took office, China’s relations with US allies including Japan have generally improved. Actually I think China is seeing the best strategic opportunity since the end of #ColdWar. bit.ly/2CYQOrs
