WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
We had a great time welcoming you to Beijing! Look forward to more collaboration!
An awesome intervention, in part because of its simplicity, in part because of how pervasive the problem of simplification is. https://t.co/ISAdaobkjm
‘It’s harmful because in most circumstances that the phrase is used, it tends to be setting two opposing powers against each other. This set up by its very nature negates the voice of others in the world’ https://t.co/BbUELbFsCp
Great piece by @hmryder on her New Year's resolution to stop using the term "the West". I would suggest all journalists and news editors read her reasons and follow her example. https://t.co/JNGIlbHgXw
I couldn't agree more with this blog post by my good friend @hmryder. I've grown tired with the use of the term "The West," a nebulous concept which in many ways is outdated in the 21st century world. Its use is often a hallmark of unproductive discourse.

Very wise words from @hmryder, and also something I always aspire to transmit to students and in my writing: There is no THE West, as there is no THE China. https://t.co/nFs95Xvswn
#NewPost: Have you got a #NewYearsResolution for #2019? Mine is to remove the phrase "the West" from my vocabulary. Here's why...

Excellent piece by my former UNDP colleague @tremanncc - the #US #Africa strategy should focus on US-Africa relations, not on #ChinaAfrica - incl. ideas for what that strategy should include, similar to those I've been proposing recently @LowyInstitute

The world’s poor are very young. They are not all #farmers. And city vs village matters a lot (rural poverty is more about #infrastructure, while urban poverty is more about #childmortality and #food. @CGDev Great simple summary of a #poverty paper! https://t.co/ITWzfCbPnC
Really useful and comprehensive piece from @ITCnews asking: what happens to the relationship with third countries (and especially #African, #Caribbean & #Pacific countries) under various #Brexit scenarios?

loans; they did the calculation. It may appear over risky depending on one’s risk appetite, but many are willing to make the gamble if you’re a small country w/o too many options to carve out a place in global econ. China’s state-led capitalism can be v. appealing in this context
Indeed a v. informative piece. I feel the industry of BRI-watching can benefit a lot from more technical knowledge about international project finance and management, maritime economy, etc. Main takeaway from this piece also: countries are not necessarily“trapped” into taking CN https://t.co/j5Sed24BcZ
ICYMI - did you read our CEO @hmryder 's latest - sharing one reason why #African countries' have a more imbalanced #trade & investment relationship with #China, compared to many others? Certainly an issue @ICCSecGen @AUC_MoussaFaki could help solve... https://t.co/QsbS6mq2Fq
#SinoAfrica #MustRead that builds on the growing body of knowledge (via @gyude_moore, @hmryder etc.) of how African stakeholders actually craft deals with China. HT @CAAC_Network https://t.co/QsoauLPDaR
Missed this in 2018, but am glad I finally got to it in 2019. The #globaldev sector needs to do something to increase #diversity. And talking about it (and monitoring it) and it's effects is a key first step. Thanks @LorriannR for sharing.
