Excited to share my article on rural reform and authoritarian rule in Taiwan @cps_journal! Using archival data from 2 crucial campaigns in the early days of KMT rule, I show how the regime tried to coopt rural society with mixed results. A summary: 1/15 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
One day I’ll get to visit Armonk, NY, where M. E. Sharpe printed some of the greatest volumes on Chinese reform institutions in the 1990s 🫡
CCDI secretary Li Xi concludes the rectification campaign of discipline and inspection cadres says last year cadres underwent "spiritual baptism and revolutionary transformation", emphasized that building "absolute loyalty" through "self-revolution" is an "eternal task"

Chinese Global Infrastructure is out (OA)! doi.org/10.1017/978100… This short book tracks major Chinese int’l infrastructure projects from 1949 to now. It uses historical data + context to shed light on a cornerstone of China’s foreign relations. Brief 🧵on key themes:
Thanks to @RadioFreeAsia for this interview on @mjdanganguan , a new resource for China’s citizen historians. It’s in its infancy (just launched Wednesday) but features over 850 periodicals, books, and films produced by Chinese inside China trying to tell their country’s history.

@alan_jacobs1 and I are delighted to announce the publication of our new book "Integrated Inferences" See here: integrated-inferences.github.io for links to: * The book plus open access version (thanks Cambridge!) * Accompanying R package on CRAN: CausalQueries * Guide to the package
So... it turns out that US CITIZENS and all 'foreign researchers' employed/trained overseas for a year or more have been subject to heightened screening when employed as researchers in Florida SINCE 2021, AND WE JUST NOTICED.
So I just did a little checking into this, and I think this isn't quite right. The reality however isn't much better. 🧵
This is very concerning and tantamounts to a Chinese exclusion act. We must stand against it

The "provide rubrics" responses to this strike me as odd. I provide both detailed instructions and rubrics, but most rubrics for papers are like, "had a thesis statement" and "wrote clearly." That is, the frustration is students are told what to do and still can't follow through.
I try not to complain much about my job man, but this year one thing I’m feeling super acutely is how much like k-12 university teaching has become. It’s increasingly so different from my undergraduate experience that I’m starting to feel old and somewhat frustrated.
Man this thread is *exactly* what I mean. I provide assignments with lots of structure, but it’s impossible to write a complete contract, and sometimes they become hyper focused on stuff that impossible to specify. This is why our syllabi are like 50 pages long now.

My inner child is a huge civics nerd and had too much fun seeing politicians in the flesh on the hill. Today has only cemented my belief that DC is Disneyland for insufferable dorks (like me).
There's something painfully old-fashioned about believing that Donald Trump is scared of being caught in a lie, is afraid of being called a liar, or regards being labeled as such as a political or personal liability. Have you been watching this guy for the past 40 years?
There's a lot of unwarranted confidence that Trump's innately revolting, dishonest personality will ultimately sink him. I believed this for a second, too, after the Access Hollywood tape. I like to think that I learned from that experience.
