- Interesting that Bluesky is certain that UK labor's right turn on immigration is doomed. A sharp right turn on immigration by Danish social democrats (yes, with a left turn on welfare) led them to pulverize the populist right. I do not know it will work, but the determinism in opinions is strange.

- What do the useful idiots, also called Trump-fan Chinese pro-democracy dissidents, say by now actually?
- The new sherrif in the US is voting with North Korea, Belarus and Russia in the UN. Welcome to the brave new world. news.sky.com/story/trump-...
- The right-wing FPÖ wanted a German-requirement for university research in Austria during coalition negotiations. The next thing will probably be teaching in Austrian dialect. www.ots.at/presseaussen...
- Dear @posit.co, can you please invent an update button. 🙂
- I wonder what incentivizes left-center governments, such as Vienna's, to promote gender neutral language. Public opinion is leaning heavily against it. Granted, Vienna's population is likely more accepting. But I still doubt this wins more voters than it is driving voters away.
- Author affiliations in a random sample of publications in 3 top China Studies journals. The dominance of Anglo-US scholars is remarkable. A whopping 48% of knowledge on China published in these journals was produced in the US, UK, AUS and CAN. Only 33% was produced in Mainland China or Hong Kong.
- European societies, Germany in particular, had 8 years to rethink their dillusional assumptions about the nature of the international system and the value of hard power. Now the hand wringing and panicking starts again...
- Interesting initiative to highlight and critique the severe under representation of the Global South in German-speaking television news. weisses-rauschen.de/hero/202409P...

- South Korea may have been closer to military rule than it initially appeared. 👇
- Good to know. In research that hopefully will see the light of the day soonish, I try to make the point that one key argument for surveillance in China has been that "society needs to be protected from itself."

- In this new study with Xue Gong and Jan Delhey, published in the Chinese Sociological Review, we re-evaluate the widely shared belief that China experienced a "trust crisis" – the rationale behind the “social credit system” – during its rapid modernization. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
