Welcome @wangxiangweihk ! I'm glad to hear your entry was uneventful. I look forward to more insights as you explore this critical topic. But please don't spend all your time within the ivy-covered buildings of Harvard.

@wangxiangweihk I’m no fan of the American administration, but I’d suggest scrubbing your phone when going back home is the smarter move.

My latest #ThoughtoftheDayonChina: China’s Q2 GDP slowed to 4.3 per cent and a K-shaped pattern is clear, but China’s top leaders, now in Beidaihe for their annual two-week holiday, appear unfazed. Please read my commentary to see why.@wangxiangweihk https://t.co/VbZK6X0zQe
