About this section:
Many of the following posts are articles and briefs I have published elsewhere (China Analysis, Oxford Analytica, the EIU, The Interpreter, Technode...).
All of this is dated material as pieces are posted a few months after publication due to copyright rules. I don't aim to react quickly to current events but rather to reflect on underlying trends. These are not academic articles either: they are brief pieces on topics that are only remotely linked to my research interests. But I hope they can be a useful and simple introduction to some fascinating aspects of Chinese society and politics.
