The world should be beyond famines. It is entirely within our capacity to prevent them. But we have not been able to end "the cruel resolve of some war leaders to use starvation as a weapon" -- in Gaza, Sudan, Ethiopia, and elsewhere. nytimes.com/2024/03/09/opini…

Blackpink Lisa's Crazyhorse cabaret performance sparked serious debate across #China. Beyond raising eyebrows, the show ignited a fierce debate on #feminism, #sexuality and artistic expression. #blackpink #lisacrazyhorse #jingdaily jingdaily.com/lisa-cabaret-p…

🎧 This week on the podcast, Crystal Tai @crystalpher_ discusses her reporting on Chinese digital nomads. How are Chinese millennials pushing back against the 996 grind? By freelancing and starting businesses from their laptops. nuvoices.com/2023/05/31/nuvo…

Had such a great time with Crystal on the latest @NuVoices podcast. Highly recommend curling up on your couch reading her great feature stories from Asia, a few linked in our show notes: nuvoices.com/2022/02/03/nuvo…

It was immensely meaningful to chat about navigating intersectional identities, living abroad and reporting on your “foreign” motherland, and about some of the personal sacrifices often involved in this industry. Ty for having me @NuVoices . Listen here: bit.ly/3JeaTbH

Fascinating and wide ranging episode on being a foreign correspondent in Asia and beyond. Lives and habits of this generation: Honjok — living alone and loving it, etc. Being an invisible foreigner and discovering own identity
Happy Year of the Tiger all! Our first pod of the year is out with journalist & researcher Crystal Tai! She talks about business trends, her time as a foreign correspondent in HK & Seoul, & writing her book Honjok: the art of living alone.

Loved interviewing @crystalpher for the first @NuVoices podcast of #YearOfTheTiger! She talks about working across East Asia, the challenges of being a non-visible “foreign correspondent” in Seoul, and how subcultures can reveal geopolitical tensions. 🎧nuvoices.com/2022/02/03/nuvo…

Meanwhile life is virtually back to normal in many cities across Asia and in developing countries. Rich Western societies need to realize they have some serious dumb-dumb tendencies that hurt a lot of people.

Since HK protests I’ve been thinking about newly invented characters & how they can go from art to text you can type out.
X也 is one of those characters that I feel like should get fast tracked to being added to text entry, but there are so many barriers. arianalife.com/topics/gender…

Many people in China are scrambling to get injected with coronavirus vaccines that have not completed clinical trials. Demand is so high that the country's scalpers are charging as much as $1,500 for an appointment. My latest w/ @elsiechenyi nytimes.com/2020/11/17/busin…

This could be Hong Kong's first major #MeToo case: Apple Daily spoke w 5 women, who accuse top runner/coach Gi Ka-man of sexual assault ranging from groping to attempted rape. One says there're 100+ victims; some may consider collectively pressing charges hk.appledaily.com/sports/202…

Our new series on Hong Kong starts with a look at the mainland officials charged with bringing it under Beijing's complete control. Someone described the process now as regime change in 2020 not 1997. "It has already happened. It took the party 17 years.” theguardian.com/world/2020/s…

Remember the Korean Air heiress' "nut rage" incident? The steward she had beaten & kicked out of the plane quit after suffering years of workplace bullying for openly criticizing the heiress. Now he's seeking to join politics with a goal to change South Korea's corporate culture.
Former @KoreanAir_KE steward Park Chang-jin (@justicefly2020) never imagined a bag of macadamia nuts would lead him into politics. 6 yrs after he knelt down before nut-rage heiress over the nuts, he's running for party leader news.yahoo.com/nuts-politics…
