What a Forced Choice Hides (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A survey question can be perfectly clear and still conceal something important. “If you had to choose between A and B, which would you choose?”It is a useful kind of question. By removing the possibility of compromise, it forces respondents to reveal a preference. If we ask the same question repeatedly over several years, changes in the answers can tell us something about how attitudes are shifting.But the question also creates a story. A wins. B loses.

Executive Briefing: Read the Frame Before the Promise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
China–Southeast Asia cooperation is becoming institutionally denser.

The Easy Words Are Lying to Us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some words announce themselves as translation problems. They belong to another culture, refer to an unfamiliar practice, or carry a history that cannot easily be compressed into an English equivalent. A translator sees one coming and slows down. Other words wave us through, letting us pass with almost zero friction.家 is one of the latter. For a beginning student of Chinese, it presents no great difficulty. 家 (jiā) means home.
