After two months, I've finally managed to categorize the accounts I follow or am interested in into a series of lists. I'd like to share all of them with you

1/ ImageImage
2/ In alphabetical order, first is the "1 million followers / pundit / politician" list, which are predominantly bluechecks and/or politicians with large follower counts. This list lost a notable member last night 😉 twitter.com/i/lists/132831…
3/ Next is 46 Admin, an evolving list of individuals who either work in or will be affiliated with the incoming Biden administration
twitter.com/i/lists/132893…
4/ Next is Actually Knows China, who are mainly non-Chinese accounts that either offer unique insight about China by virtue of living there or extensive research

twitter.com/i/lists/132831…
5/ Next is Based, which are anti-imperialist and/or ML voices that are unafraid to push back hard against neoliberal American hegemony

twitter.com/i/lists/132831…
6/ Then we have Bharat Rakshak, which are mainly nationalist pro-India voices on Twitter

twitter.com/i/lists/132833…
7/ Next is a collection of official Chinese government accounts:

twitter.com/i/lists/132832…
8/ Then we have a list created by @Hzzzzzzz3 of general China topic influencers twitter.com/i/lists/133276…
9/ Next, one of my favorite lists to read, are Chinese 'liberals', whom in another era would likely be referred to by Chinese people using a slightly different moniker

twitter.com/i/lists/132831…
10/ Next is Highway 32, which comprise accounts affiliated with either a certain government agency near Maryland Route 32 or its sister agencies

twitter.com/i/lists/132832…
11/ Then we have Middle Powers, which are either thought leaders or political accounts from countries besides China, the US, Russia, and India

twitter.com/i/lists/132835…
12/ Next is a set of journalists and news outlets that offer coverage on Chinese and global topics

twitter.com/i/lists/132831…
13/ Next are accounts that cover either technology, business, or both

twitter.com/i/lists/132831…
14/ The next are a list of think tank 'fellows', China Watchers, and/or public intellectuals. Some of the accounts on the list are alright - some.

twitter.com/i/lists/132110…
15/ Next is Yellow Peril, which are either Chinese expats, Chinese voices with large followings, or other interesting voices from within the Great Firewall

twitter.com/i/lists/132831…
16/ Next is 军迷, which are accounts that cover either the Chinese military or US military actions in INDOPACOM

twitter.com/i/lists/132835…
17/ And lastly, we have 台湾岛傀儡政权, or the Puppet Regime on Taiwan Island - a collection of accounts either from or which support the internationally unrecognized regime currently administering the island of Taiwan
twitter.com/i/lists/132833…
end/ Hopefully these lists are helpful to all of you. If you have any accounts you think would make a great add to one of them, please DM or let me know in the comments below. Thanks!

1/ US tech's ban of Trump gives China a once-in-a-decade opportunity to reset the global tech ecosystem in its favor. China should pay its tech firms to package and release an open source social media app, open source app store and mobile stack, and an open source cloud stack
2/ The blowback from bigtech doing this is going to be the balkanization of the internet. Every country + the EU is going to go for their own social media / mobile / cloud stack now @passluo Image
3/ China obviously has a trust deficit with other major tech ecosystems, so Chinese apps will have trouble winning worldwide, but it can get around that by making it so that *no one* can dominate the global commons in the way that Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Apple currently do

The background image for Kurt Campbell's consulting firm is hilarious.

Gigantic Mt Fuji overlooking Asia's cities, with a tiny Washington Monument right in the middle. I wonder what country he's going to orient his entire Asia policy around? 🤔

@suea_thornton Image
And if Campbell does make it through as NSC Asia Czar, expect no resolution on probably the only US trade policy issue that China actually cares about Image
Which means that China and the US are exceedingly unlikely to have any sort of productive relationship over the next 4 years - or even the next 40

1/ This is probably one of the few times that @joshrogin and I will agree on something, but Twitter banning US politicians is a bad idea if you care about American political stability
2/ In a political system where political capital is as media-dependent as the US, cutting off social media accounts can shift the political balance of power
3/ It can shift that power in a way that is just as effective as reallocating electoral votes or congressional representation

It's time for the #IRS to investigate Falun Gong for violating its 501(c)(3) status

1/
501(c)(3) organizations "are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office"

2/

However, the Falun Gong has used religious donations - both monetary and in-kind - to aggressively fund a media empire

I would caution folks not to overestimate the relative decline of the US / ascent of China

1/
Instead of saying China has taken primacy over the US in 2020 - or even started that process - it's more accurate to say that 2020 marks the start of multipolarity's return to global politics

2/
The US still has a plurality of the world's "critical bottleneck" technologies, supremacy in the maritime and orbital commons, financial centrality, and a global media nexus
