Fellow @ConGeostrategy covering Taiwan/cross-strait relations, and PhD'ing @lsehistory UK-US China policies 1957-72. No longer tweeting, follow Substack below:
Joined September 2010
Taiwan's inclusion in the Integrated Review 'refresh' follows a recent shift in the UK's approach to cross-Strait tensions. Britain is taking the costs of a crisis seriously and is working more closely with allies to support stability. My thoughts for @ConGeostrategy:.
Today in #BritainsWorld, @GraySergeant assesses the mention of Taiwan in the Integrated Review ‘refresh’ and the UK’s evolving policy towards the Taiwan Strait. ‘This mention is symbolic of a wider shift.’. 👇.

Insightful and important reporting from @DSORennie @jarmiles on the 80% of Tibetan children now in state-run boarding schools, including children who live in towns and cities near their schools. This is about political control, not education. Listen here:
