How do counterparts keep a straight face? Bonus question: In the last 18 months, which country joined RCEP, negotiated CAI, upgraded at least one FTA, applied to CPTPP, and applied to DEPA? Hint: not the US. I'm as cynical about Beijing's motives as the next guy but seriously.

Perhaps the flurry of visits by foreign envoys to see the military leadership in #Myanmar was intended by the army leadership to show that being frozen out of the recent #ASEAN summit was in no way a sign of the country’s isolation.

The magnitude of the crisis in #Ethiopia is terrifying. One sliver of hope is that Jeff Feltman is the US envoy. He did a superb job when he was the undersecretary general for political affairs at the UN. Working with Kenyatta, he might bring a ceasefire.
The brute reality is the Tigray Defense Force has comprehensively defeated the Ethiopian National Defense Force. MORE Alex de Waal: responsiblestatecraft.org/2021/11/10/eth…
@thantmyintu My bad. I should have said "as long as the military stay in power" just like 60 years ago and like now after the coup.
@thantmyintu has done a robust advocacy for climate change in Myanmar. Where do we begin to tackle climate crisis amid serious political instability? Our study shows that Myanmar nationals demonstrated poor knowledge on climate change, infection diseases and the intersection.
My very first first-author paper got published last year in @PLOSONE. Climate change and infectious diseases are intertwined and many people are unfortunately not aware of this. Hope that #COP26 is aware of the effect of #ClimateChange on #PublicHealth. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
