Honored to be supporting #wcceuz on the important mission of promoting the creative economy which is often overlooked as an economic driver while unleashing talent

Excited to be speaking at the first World Archaeological Summit in AlUla, SA. ⁦@RCU_SA⁩ #heritage

Join me tonight on @BloombergTV as @DavidWestin and I explore these questions, general US-China relations, the state of the Chinese economy, and more.

While the #Biden administration's EO on #ChinaInvestments isn't surprising, its full implications are still a mystery. How will the @USTreasury implement the order? Will the initially narrow restrictions expand? How will China react to what they see as "economic coercion"?

In an interview with @arabnews, I discuss the public's growing interest in cultural racketeering following recent events like the return of the coffin of Nedjemankh and charges against the former director of the Louvre. Read it here:

The illicit #antiquities trade is not a victimless crime – it destroys communities, economies, national security, and can help fund some of the world's most dangerous actors. Stronger provenance research units and legal ramifications can help #CombatLooting.

As an Advisor for @CombatLooting, Dr. Hawass shares his expertise to help us preserve and protect our history for future generations. Recently, his team uncovered a new tunnel in the Pyramid of Khufu. Read more here:

Egypt is home to a wealth of #CulturalHeritage sites, and experts are continuing to identify new discoveries. My @Edelman_EGA colleague Yousra Abdelhameed and I spoke with my dear friend and the face of Egyptian #archaeology, Dr. Zahi Hawass, to discuss his latest finds in Egypt.

This topic was a key focus of my conversation during @MeridianIntl's Culturefix event on June 2, "Protecting Cultural Heritage in Conflict Zones." Thank you @TheHill for covering this critical and timely issue and highlighting insights from our panelists.

International conflicts are hot spots for bad actors seeking to exploit #CulturalHeritage for monetary gain or to erase a nation's identity. In Ukraine, nearly 1,700 instances of likely damage to museums, archives, and libraries have been reported.

The Middle East is a region of ever-evolving politics and underappreciated opportunities. @Edelman_EGA just launched a new podcast, Forecasting the Middle East, hosted by MENA Director Tyler Jones, which helps to navigate the key issues facing the region. Listen below.

We must take steps to safeguard our shared history. It was an honor to discuss strategies about how governments and the private sector can better protect cultural heritage at the frontlines of war and conflict alongside these leaders at @MeridianIntl's Culturefix event.

As part of @MeridianIntl's Culturefix on June 2, I am delighted to host a panel about protecting culture during crisis alongside Dr. Kateryna Smagliy of @UKRintheUSA, Dr. Richard Kurin of @smithsonian and Irina Bokova, former DG of @UNESCO. Please join us.

As long as there have been tombs, there have been tomb raiders. While global conflicts continue to devastate communities across the world, our shared history is at a heightened risk of being looted and sold into the black market by bad actors taking advantage of instability.

Congrats to my @Edelman_EGA colleagues in Japan for being recognized as leaders in innovation and global expansion!

As China's economy slows, Chinese President Xi Jinping has the opportunity to build stronger relations with the West to strengthen their markets. I joined @BloombergTV's @DavidWestin to discuss US-China engagement during "Wall Street Week." Take a look:

#Biodiversity loss is a severe threat that will result in significant consequences for human health and prosperity if not addressed. On #WorldBiodiversityDay, global leaders should recognize their important role in financing responses to #biodiversityloss.

Museums play a vital role in fostering conversations between nations and protecting our shared history from the illicit #antiquities trade. I'll be representing @CombatLooting as we discuss these unique responsibilities during @CEAInitiative's #InternationalMuseumDay event.

It was a pleasure to exchange views about these issues over lunch with members of the CF40, which includes some of China’s finest economists and thought leaders. I look forward to continuing the conversation over the months and years ahead.

China’s economy is bouncing back, but there’s still much uncertainty around its longer-term growth, its regulatory policies over data and tech, and the impact of growing tensions with the United States.
