China does not always rely on charm offensives to shape the behavior of its Borderlands neighbors but has also regularly used economic coercion. Read Audrye Wong, @vikingbohman.bsky.social and @victoraferguson.bsky.social's new study. strategicspace.nbr.org/pressure-on-...

In light of China's FDPR-esque REE controls, there is a lot in my feeds on Beijing's evolving use of export restrictions. @vikingbohman.bsky.social, Audrye and I have a recent and relevant @twqgw.bsky.social piece responding to Medeiros and Polk, debating this exact topic. doi.org/10.1080/0163...

Enjoyed presenting joint research simultaneously with Uras Demir at PIPCOSS today, live from Tokyo and Los Angeles! Thank you to Wilfred Chow for organising and to Jiyoung Ko and Sung Eun Kim for their helpful feedback.

Pleased to contribute to the latest @eastasiaforum.bsky.social Quarterly on the rise of economic security cooperation in Asia. The piece draws on work @vikingbohman.bsky.social @limdarrenj.bsky.social and I have been collaborating on for a while. More to come soon. eastasiaforum.org/2025/10/04/s...

I'm teaching a seminar on 'Economic Security' this semester. Here's the syllabus: tinyurl.com/bdd6e4jd. Let me know anything I should add ~ Features @sarahbauerled.bsky.social @dandrezner.bsky.social @mevers90.bsky.social @himself.bsky.social @abenewman.bsky.social @kazutosuzuki.bsky.social et al.

New open access article in @journalofgss.bsky.social on how China and Russia (similarly!) use economic sanctions. Using new data, I disaggregate 53 CN and 50 RU cases from 2000-23 to look at ~300 separate sanctions, examining 6 mechanisms of implementation and their dynamics. doi.org/10.1093/jogs...

Looking forward to ISA next week, where I and coauthors will be presenting three things we've been working on recently. It will be my first time in Chicago 🙆🏻‍♂️ Shoot me a DM if you want to line up a coffee or if you want a copy of any of the papers.
