    I wrote a long-form piece for The Diplomat, explaining how the Party Congress works. I also identify the formally authorized group who makes the final approval of nominated candidates for the membership of the Central Committee. Main takeaways. A thread.

    Chinese public opinion on the 🇷🇺🇺🇦conflict Obscured by the hawkish anti-🇺🇸, pro-🇷🇺 comments posted on the PRC social media, there's also a significant amount of pro-🇺🇦, pro-peace contents. But these contents are mostly displayed by silent 👍rather than verbal engagements. 🧵
