Audrye Wong and I have a piece in @wsj.com today on the logic of China's recent economic retaliation against Japan. Drawing on our research, we examine actions China has taken so far and what might come next in the escalating spat triggered by Takaichi's Taiwan comment. www.wsj.com/opinion/chin...

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.

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.
