The question is both fierce and fragile. So does the answer?

My third book illuminates decades of a transnational “scholar–state nexus” within the context of the CCP rule in mainland China, shedding light on the nature of the CCP regime and the evolution of France’s policy of engagement with China.Pre-order now: www.routledge.com/Unfiltered-R...

Thanks for citing my first book,
@zhaoruilu.bsky.social. FYI, the correct title is Who Will Marry My Daughter (Beijing: Chinese Social Sciences Press, 2012; 2013). It explores how Mao-era experiences shaped parents' views on their children’s post-1978 mate choices. Not Who Married My Daughter.

It would be very helpful to have a paperback edition. Do you know when it will be released? Thank you @bobdavis187.bsky.social @sosuburbia.bsky.social !

I published my first short novel in Chinese in my early 20s, titled Une Nuit Blanche.

Look forward to reading your new article on him.

Excellent source! I’ve added it to the readings for my course, Tyranny and Dignity: Chinese Women from the Cultural Revolution to the White Paper Protests, specifically for Topic 11: Battling Digital Communism – China’s #MeToo Movement.

Very well-researched article, @rachelcheung.bsky.social. Will include it in my syllabus for the course "History of U.S.-China Relations, 1949–2025" for the Spring 2026 semester.

Many years later, there would be a book subtitled The Rise and Fall of America’s China Experts.

Congratulations, Prof. Fahrenthold! I just borrowed your work from our library and would love to learn how Syrian American labor history is stitched together through needles and threads.

This Thursday, we are excited to host a lecture by Prof. Peter Lavelle on "Finding Money Fast: Muslim Xinjiang and Its People in the Financial Crisis of the 1850s." It’s wonderful to see this field of research thriving with such fascinating contributions!

Excited to speak at a virtual roundtable meeting entitled “China’s Pressure Cooker: Public Discontent, Societal Shifts, and Political Stability amid Economic Challenges” at the @cfr.org on Monday morning!

This is exactly opposite of what some of the Japanese universities did.

I like this essay. It is well-researched and engagingly written.

Fashion and Politics in Maoist China This talk explores findings from a forthcoming English translation of a pioneering study on clothing in China during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). Challenging the stereotype of uniform “blue bo...

Excited to share some ideas from my forthcoming book, under contract with @bloomsburyfashion.bsky.social at @cornelluniversity.bsky.social 's Department of Human Centered Design on May 2, 2025. Don't miss the Fashion Exhibition! Details here: events.cornell.edu/event/fashio...

Congrats! Thrilled to share that I submitted my manuscript, Unfiltered Regard: French Perspectives on China from Mao to Xi, to @routledgehistory.bsky.social on December 24, 2024!

@amfchina.bsky.social's book "Germany and China" raises a critical alarm. Yet, both policy-makers and business leaders have largely ignored it. Liz & Hart's new article on @foreignaffairs.com suggests a full economic toolkit to counter China’s dominance and bolster supply chain resilience.

Congrats @historymatt.bsky.social What a beautiful design! Can’t wait to see the cover for my upcoming "Fashion and Politics in China's Cultural Revolution," translated by the esteemed historian Antonia Finnane. Feeling so honored! Submission to @bloomsburyfashion.bsky.social is set for Sept. 2025.

A ChinaFile Conversation with Daniel A. Bell, Geremie R. Barmé, Michael Szonyi, and David Moser, published in February 2024.

Whenever I come across narratives like these, I’m reminded of your incisive 2015 article, For American Pundits, China Is a Fantasyland. It perfectly captures how everyone finds their own shoehorned version of China.

The Roots of “Revenge Against Society” Attacks in China Repressive rule is creating a climate of isolation and grievance.
