Return of the Pekingologist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For scholars researching authoritarian regimes, the world is becoming harder to read. Access to fields, archives, and information in China, as in Russia and elsewhere, has dwindled. Sweeping data security laws now frame routine in-country data-gathering as potential espionage. We are returning to an era reminiscent of the Cold War, in which researchers must once again navigate inherently hostile environments that systematically constrain access, criminalize investigations, and conceal data. Yet,
What Actually Happened at the Xi-Trump Summit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On September 24, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the White House for their second summit of the year.

“It’s really tough doing anything in China right now,” my friend told me. He’s a serial entrepreneur in Shanghai with a locked-in grin. We were waiting for our food in a Taiwanese restaurant in a lovingly-renovated toy factory in Shanghai. The place was really nice but it was about half full. I heard the same complaint nearly the whole month of June, which I spent with my family in Beijing, Shanghai, and cities and villages in Jiangsu, Hebei, and Yunnan provinces. It seemed that everyone we met,
