Thanks to @CSIS and @GregPoling for hosting me today to talk about our book, New Answers to Old Questions: Myanmar Before and After the 2021 Coup d'État, written with @ShonaLoong. Great to see a good turnout in Washington, DC for a discussion on how best to help Myanmar.

The reason we call [the book] a bit of a revisionist guide to Myanmar politics is because we argue...that the NLD was not the vehicle many in this city thought it was in advancing values of liberalism and cosmopolitanism. - @ConnellyAL

Move Forward, the largest party in #Thailand's parliament, has just been disbanded by court order. The ruling was sadly not unexpected: for years, the establishment has closed ranks to quash any party that it deems a threat. It is the 9th party to be dissolved since 2007.

America needs an innovative Indo-Pacific strategy focused on security, economic opportunity, and alliances. Vital to this effort is supporting the Philippines against Beijing's aggression. My thanks to @CSIS for the chance to discuss this at the 14th South China Sea Conference.

China’s reckless actions at Second Thomas Shoal are deeply concerning, but why is Beijing challenging the Philippines so dangerously while permitting massive Vietnamese land reclamation elsewhere in the Spratlys? From me and @GregPoling in @WarOnTheRocks: warontherocks.com/2024/06/th…

The South China Sea Dog that Hasn’t Barked … Yet

Vietnam has been busy. In recent months, it has exponentially expanded the size of several features it controls in the Spratly Islands, including Barque
