Thanks for citing my first book,
@zhaoruilu.bsky.social. FYI, the correct title is Who Will Marry My Daughter (Beijing: Chinese Social Sciences Press, 2012; 2013). It explores how Mao-era experiences shaped parents' views on their children’s post-1978 mate choices. Not Who Married My Daughter.

Congratulations, Prof. Fahrenthold! I just borrowed your work from our library and would love to learn how Syrian American labor history is stitched together through needles and threads.

This Thursday, we are excited to host a lecture by Prof. Peter Lavelle on "Finding Money Fast: Muslim Xinjiang and Its People in the Financial Crisis of the 1850s." It’s wonderful to see this field of research thriving with such fascinating contributions!

@amfchina.bsky.social's book "Germany and China" raises a critical alarm. Yet, both policy-makers and business leaders have largely ignored it. Liz & Hart's new article on @foreignaffairs.com suggests a full economic toolkit to counter China’s dominance and bolster supply chain resilience.

Whenever I come across narratives like these, I’m reminded of your incisive 2015 article, For American Pundits, China Is a Fantasyland. It perfectly captures how everyone finds their own shoehorned version of China.
