Per protocol, @MFA_China Director for N. American and Oceanian Affairs Yang Tao was at the airport to see @SecBlinken off as he wrapped up his China tour (left pic). Yang was also there receiving Blinken when he arrived in Beijing. Any assertion to the contrary is false.

领导班子 (the band of leaders), a popular reference to the collective leadership in any Party or state institution, was a favored term that was frequently used by Lin Biao. The term was banned in 1971 after Lin's death. At the time, the central Party authority issued concrete…

These stones behind the fence along this gorgeous lawn are magnets for 20-something Chinese photo-shooting teams. Passing by gives me a sense of deja vu, as if I were back in China. Guess where is this place?

Very strong opening scene of the #Netflix production of #3BodyProblem. One historical issue: The scene was set in 1966 (per title card), but the slogan 整党建党 吐故纳新 shown on the banner above the stage was first introduced in October, 1967, one year after the Cultural…

A long time coming. Although journalists and researchers like to translate 中央 (the Center) as the CCP Central Committee, that doesn't reflect its range of use. The Center has always been an ambiguous designation, as reflected by this new definition (1/6)

What is 中央 (the Center)? What is 党中央 (the Party Center)? If you do not know the answers, don't blame yourself because nobody knows and nobody had bothered to ask (I tried in private but the question was always dismissed) until now. For a long time, both terms appeared…

Not trying hair-splitting here, but there are some inaccuracies in this summary of the PRC political system. For one, the Party org referred in the para below is called party-group not party committee. The difference is not merely semantic but with substantive implications.

A poignant letter from Dan Wang: "I wonder why the regime can’t have greater trust in its citizens for free expression. It’s as if the party has so little self confidence that people will be pleased with the goods it has delivered." danwang.co/2023-letter/

I've read nothing like this before—a painfully honest piece about the cruelty and patriarchy of academia, viewed through the lens of a grieving wife. Lang Chen remembers the last days of husband @Xiaohong__Xu, a brilliant, beloved sociologist from China who passed away at age 45.

Very eloquent explanation from @izading of our, natural(?), tendency to understand the world with the least intellectual labor. Another example is the prevalent view that the 2018 lift of PRC Chairman term-limit is for Xi "to stay in power forever". Ppl just got fixated on it.

This looks like a perfect visualization of Granovetter's threshold model of collective behavior or of Mao's revolutionary conviction that "a single spark can start a prairie fire".
