More people than ever work from home—but remote workers are “overwhelmingly concentrated in dense parts of big cities.” One reason: “Urban neighborhoods have more of the coworking spaces, third places, and amenities that are of value to remote workers.” https://t.co/5sOW9qCtbH

Those of you who know me even a little will understand what deep joy was entailed in publishing @shenlulushen's recipe for hongshaorou on @ChinaFile.

US officials are hoping that Putin's struggles in Ukraine will dissuade Xi from attacking Taiwan. But those struggles could simply convince Xi to use force more brutally and decisively when he attacks. @bopinion @AEIfdp @KissingerCenter
