Incredibly relieved & overjoyed to hear my friend and former colleague, Cheng Lei, is back home after being released from China. Much has changed since this pic was taken a few weeks before her arrest in 2020. So glad she's back in Australia! cnn.com/2023/10/11/china/che…

This is why I left #China. I think it's hard for outsiders to fully grasp how all-encompassing & miserable the government's COVID restrictions are. They dictate *every* single thing you do. And China's been facing COVID for 3 years now. nytimes.com/article/china-co…

From a friend at JFK about to board a flight to Dublin just a few minutes after Trump Europe travel suspension announced. “If the leader of the free world is telling you that, you know your travel is being affected I would think that we have to give you your money back.”

My colleague, @thepointwithlx, tonight on one of #China’s biggest news programs after discussing the #tradewar with @trish_regan. An indication of how closely #China was watching.
