A real tragedy

Exciting.

What a thrill to be in glorious Athens again. 🇬🇷

A great write-up by Zichen Wang on Professor Lan Xiaohuan's book on local government and economic growth, looks like it tells the story of land finance very well. I missed buying this when I was in China, shucks pekingnology.com/p/chinas-land-…

Jan Patočka is as relevant as ever imo & I am thus looking forward to the seminar I host at HKU next Tuesday: David Lloyd Dusenbury will discuss ‘Decadence and Technology’ based on his close reading of Patočka’s ‘Heretical Essays’. The respondent is ever brilliant Brian Wong

And happy to have Michael McFaul in the office of Center for China and Globalization a few days ago as well! Henry Huiyao WANG 王辉耀

'Combating excess capacity' for 'protectionism'; 'de-risking' for 'de-coupling'; 'Indo-Pacific' for 'Asia-Pacific'; 'Strategic Rivalry' for 'Great Power Competition' - someone should write a paper on the 'New Era' lexicon in international relations discourse.

A great treat: taking a group of Schwarzman students for an informal discussion with Michael Pettis in his hutong in Beijing earlier today.

We covered everything from the risks of Chinese economic rebalancing to Beijing's faltering punk rock scene. Glorious.
