Blackouts are getting worse in Cuba, some days the entire island is plunged into near total darkness. Here's the story tinyurl.com/47srb7ff by my colleagues @pablorobles.bsky.social @wallacetim.bsky.social and Simon Romero | gift link 🎁

Blackouts are getting worse in Cuba. On some days, the entire island is plunged into near total darkness. The electricity crisis has laid bare the risks of depending so heavily on foreign oil while trying to maintain a centrally planned socialist economic system.

Latest project: Your Home Without China — We highlight how much of our everyday life depends on goods imported from China, and what could happen as new U.S.-China tariffs take effect. We used illustration to make the topic feel more accessible and relatable. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It’s hard to imagine an American home without Chinese products. Many essentials are imported almost entirely from China — and with new tariffs, they’re likely to become more expensive. We analyzed import data to show where Americans may see product shortages, fewer choices and price increases.

The Secret Campaign in China to Save a Woman Chained by the Neck – A viral video sparked outrage, but efforts to silence the conversation failed. I helped shape the storytelling for this powerful piece, reported by my incredibly talented colleagues. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This grim story began with a video of a woman chained by the neck in China. After outrage, the government silenced the public with surveillance and censorship. Here’s the story by my Seoul-based colleague @pablorobles.bsky.social and Vivian Wang nyti.ms/41qZiAv

Three years ago, a video blogger found a woman chained by the neck inside a shack in a tiny village in rural China. The video set off the biggest online uproar the country had seen in years, until the Chinese government quashed it.

For one example, look how far just one part (an aluminum casing for the rear assembly) goes! Smelted in Quebec, cast in Mexico, then passed around the Great Lakes region until it finally lands in a Silverado in Fort Wayne. Quite the travel iteanrry!
