Why is Xiaohongshu being banned in Taiwan? As @doublethinklab researcher Eric Hsu explains, the issues stem from the Chinese platform's lack of a communication channel with Taiwan's government.

For many in #Myanmar, #China’s influence has long been an unspoken fact of life. But data from the China Index—and the conversations it has sparked—are transforming awareness into resistance and solidarity. Jesua Lynn reports: bit.ly/48HnEvc

The #ChinaIndex by @doublethinklab captures how Beijing tailors its strategies to different contexts: where it meets institutional resistance, it adapts; where the ground is fertile, it consolidates presence and support. What we’re watching: Italy⤵️ decode39.com/12032/china-inf…

The China Index 2024 by #Taiwan’s @doublethinklab shows #PRC influence spreading across politics, academia, media & society worldwide. We must guard against CCP media control & election interference fueling dependence on Beijing.

I am safe. But so many #HongKong journalists aren’t. It is crucial that we keep up the fight for #PressFreedom. Thank you to my @RSF_inter team and colleagues around the world for your support & concern about my well-being following my recent detention and deportation from HK.

A superb piece of work by this NYT time, demonstrating the value of PRC/CCP knowledge and investigative reporting chops. Beijing made a critical error in expelling journalists who can now work China-in-the-world projects like this.

The “US skepticism” narrative in Taiwan that portrays Washington as an unreliable partner is becoming more deeply entrenched. If left to fester, these doubts may harm American interests. My latest piece, with Jennifer Lan. gmfus.org/news/taiwans-growi…
