Academic books are crazy expensive... but if you are in North America, have some change to spare, (and are interested in China's foreign policy, diplomacy and IR theory) use code LOH20 for 20% off my latest book: sup.org/books/title/?id=3571…
Books starting shipping next month!

.@dylanloh: “The retreat of wolf warriorism as a stylistic mode does not mean its underlying logic has dissolved. Many of these assertive diplomatic practices predate Xi Jinping, and many will outlast him.”

🚨 NEW REPORT! 🚨
After 2 (!!) years working on a new dataset of thousands of PLA contracts, I’m very excited to share a new report, featured in today’s @WSJ!
We ask: Who are the PLA’s AI suppliers?
The answer: an unexpected, emerging class of firms and universities.

Just published! My latest paper, at the Cambridge Review of International Affairs, looks at how contested actors like Taiwan and the CTA use moral strategies to gain visibility and manage anti-secession diplomacy by the PRC. Take a look: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Xi is traveling abroad less than before Covid. Why?
"Physical stamina is a precious political resource, and Xi knows it. As Xi grows older, he is carefully managing his travel to preserve his strength.."
Happy to share some thoughts in a great @WSJ story by @ByChunHan

We analyzed China's 2010-19 Defence White Papers on its regional security views... (1/2)
...finding Beijing favors active defence & non-military tools for disputes, contrary to some views. Grateful to Ralf Emmers & @BeverleyLoke for expertly co-editing our special issue on coalition-building in the Indo Pacific.

Three countries, one tour, and a clear message from Beijing- President Xi Jinping touched down in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia this past week, marking one of his most strategic Southeast Asian tours in years. What's behind the charm offensive? While the U.S. is fueling global confusion and frustration with its tariff war, China and its Southeast Asian partners are trying to inject cooperation and stability into global growth. What does the whirlwind visit mean for China, Southeast Asia, and the world?
Join Dr. Zha Daojiong, Professor of International Political Economy, School of International Studies, Peking University @PKU1898 , Dr. Digby James Wren, @thechairlive, External Relations Advisor, Royal Academy of Cambodia and Chair, Belt and Road Capital Partners , and Dr. Dylan Loh @dylanloh, Assistant Professor, Public Policy and Global Affairs Programme, Nanyang Technological University @NTUsg to decode the tour at the #ChatLounge.
