"A remarkable feature of the new leadership... is the disproportionate number of members with security-related backgrounds.... Who are these people, and what does their disproportionately large presence mean?" Check out @guoguang_wu's excellent analysis: discoursemagazine.com/politics/2022/…
While I have your attention here, follow the legendary @guoguang_wu if you haven't already! His insightful paper on the inner working of the People's Daily inspired me to build an AI bot to watch China's Big Brother. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
The @Discourse_Mag has been following some of the most contentious issues in US-China relations. To name a few:

@RonGluckman write about Beijing's relentless campaign to minimize the existence of Taiwan, which it regards as a disgruntled part of the PRC. discoursemagazine.com/politics/2022/…
Nike said its factory in China had stopped using #forcedlabor. The great @ameliapangg investigated whether that commitment was credible. Spoiler alert: Not really. discoursemagazine.com/economics/2022…
A year ago, @BaldingsWorld wrote about China's infamous practice of data collection and why that's a security risk to the world. Since then, he's stood up an #OSINT shop newkitedata.com to expose just what kind of information China is harvesting. discoursemagazine.com/politics/2021/…
