North Korean workers have been forced to do this around Europe for years, basically stripped of the wages, locked in their factories. I found some in the Czech republic some years back.... globalrightscompliance.org/new-report-rev…

Tibet. Chinese-style. Good story by @JChengWSJ. I had the same impression in Lhasa. The souvenir shops mostly run by Chinese for Chinese, didn't speak a word of Tibetan. Even the most common Buddhist symbol. wsj.com/world/in-china…

Yes, if Australia can do it, so can we. It's so overdue to opt out of the algorithms, an easy fix for the some of the ills of social media.... like putting us in political silos....

These stories about the #USSLIncoln reminds me of #NorthKorea. The late Kim Jong Il was the biggest foodie in Asia. He flew in sushi from Tokyo, cheese from France, caviar from Iran. His soldiers were starving. An interview I did with The New Yorker. newyorker.com/news/news-desk…

Good piece here about the Dalai Lama. When I interviewed him, he had a funny line. "If the Chinese believe in reincarnation, they should reincarnate Mao."

Deep admiration for @BarbaraDemick and the Chinese novelist Fang Fang, winners of the @AsiaSociety @chinabksreview Baifang Schell Book Prize. A great event tonight in NY. Fang Fang, whose books are banned in the PRC, was not able to leave China to accept her award.

Is Jeff Bezos deliberately sabotaging the Washington Post? I can understand reining in critical coverage of Trump, of course he's scared, but he could have preserved his dignity and the newspaper by funding sports and foreign.

.. And as @RuthMarcus points out, he could easily afford to swallow the Post's losses-- at the current rate for 2,000 years. newyorker.com/news/annals-of…
