📣 New #BJPIR article out now! 'ChatGPT as a security threat: US–China security dilemma in the generative AI race' by @jinghanzeng.bsky.social 🔗 buff.ly/WOjeJW8 @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social

During my UK trip last week, I shared some reflections on the growing hawkish push in London to “disengage” from China. While concerns about China are understandable, sentiment without strategy can be dangerous. amp.scmp.com/opinion/worl...

This paper was in development for two years before DeepSeek's arrival. It's a challenge to keep pace with the breakneck speed of AI, but fortunately, the key argument has stood the test of time and is even supported by the latest tech. Thrilled to finally share it.

Very glad to share my latest article “ChatGPT as a Security Threat: US–China Security Dilemma in the Generative AI Race,” just published in British Journal of Politics and International Relations. Read it journals.sagepub.com/eprint/A6ATG...

My take on the Xi–Trump meeting: they’ve just revived the ghost of the G2. Trump’s seemingly offhand remark signals the return — at least rhetorically — of an idea once rejected by both Washington and Beijing. thediplomat.com/2025/10/trum...

Glad to share my comments on the #Trump -Xi meeting in South Korea with @NBCNews An important step toward de-escalating tensions between the US and China but it alone cannot resolve their political differences nor address the deeper structural roots of their tensions www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/u...

🌍 Excited to Kick Off My European Talk Tour! ✈️ This Wednesday, I’ll be heading to Europe for a series of talks in Turin, Berlin, Oxford, and Cardiff. This is a special milestone for me—my first return to Europe not as a Europe-based academic, but as an Asia-based scholar.

Pekingnology has published excerpts from my book, highlighting the section where I address and dismiss the allegation that Confucius Institutes are involved in espionage and intelligence gathering. Quite timely given the UK’s debate on “China spying” cases www.pekingnology.com/p/jinghan-ze...

On 3 November 2025, I will deliver a talk in Berlin on “Security Dilemma and the US–China Generative AI Race”, based on one of my forthcoming papers. The event will be held in person with an option to join online. Registration link: berlincontemporarychinanetwork.org/events/detai...

“If we are honest about Britain’s place in the global strategic landscape today, the idea that it is a prime espionage target stretches credulity.”

My analysis of the recent allegations of Chinese #espionage in the UK. The paranoia over people with connections to China tells us less about the scale of any real threat and more about the anxieties shaping Britain’s view of Beijing amp-scmp-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.scmp...

Looking forward to returning to my alma mater University of Macau to give a book talk. There’s no better place to launch this series of book talks than where my academic journey first began. Book link link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
