It is incredibly daunting to follow in the footsteps of @SusanShirk1 who did so much for China studies, US policy toward China and for @21CenturyChina . I am grateful that my colleagues place so much trust in me.
Congratulations to @vshih2 who has been named the new director of @21CenturyChina at @GPS_UCSD. “We are proud of the impressive trajectory of @21CenturyChina under the transformative leadership of @SusanShirk1," said @UCSanDiego Chancellor Khosla. bit.ly/43zLLH8
