    Apropos of something: -Tesla's second-biggest market in 2021 was China (after the US) -Chinese battery makers are major suppliers for Tesla's EVs. -After 2009, when China banned Twitter, the government there had almost no leverage over the platform -That may have just changed

    Musician Roger Waters: "They're not encircling Taiwan, Taiwan is part of China, and that's been absolutely accepted by the whole of the international community since 1948, and if you don't know that, you're not reading enough. Go and read about it." This is where we are.

    THREAD: I have been documenting the assets of China’s top leaders for 10 years now. It is not easy. And it is getting harder. But it is a walk in the park compared to tracking the wealth of Vladimir Putin. 1/x

    Anyone who has reported in authoritarian countries recognizes this style of "interview." This is state media. This is Xinhua America.

    The questions from the Fox and Friends exclusive with Trump are so soft I want to put them in a pillowcase.

    So in Dec 2018 we called out McKinsey for holding a corporate retreat in Xinjiang. But what Disney did by filming Mulan in the epicenter of the Xinjiang detention camp network —and then thanking the security forces there in the credits — is on an entirely different level.

    McKinsey consultants dined al fresco in Kashgar, treated to a light show that projected two-humped camels onto the city's crenelated wall. 4.19 miles away, a sprawling detention center had been built to house thousands of Muslims. nytimes.com/2018/12/15/wor…

    NEW: Putin’s Superyacht? Italian police will find out today who owns one of the world’s biggest, newest and most expensive yachts, the Scheherazade. Locals in the Tuscan port where it’s moored call it “Putin’s Yacht”. So does a former crew member. With @gaia_pianigiani @ddknyt

    Italy has detained "Putin's yacht" the Scheherazade. The late night announcement comes two days after the New York Times (@gaia_pianigiani and me) wrote about how the $700 million yacht was getting ready to set sail, avoiding sanctions.

    Elaine Chao Investigated by House Panel for Possible Conflicts nyti.ms/34MWFuS - by @EricLiptonNYT and me. This stems in part from our investigation that we published in early June
    Actions by Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao have led House investigators to question if she is using her office to try to benefit her family’s financial interests.

    THREAD: Some of our findings in our investigation into Elaine Chao and her family's shipping company, Foremost Group. This involved lots of people, reporters in the US (me and @EricLiptonNYT) as well as in Shanghai and Beijing (@keithbradsher and @suilee)
    Elaine Chao, the transportation secretary, oversees the American maritime industry. Her family’s shipping company, Foremost Group, has deep ties to the Chinese elite.

    THREAD! How we (mostly @jotted) documented that the daughter of the man who pushed Hong Kong's national security law through China's NPC ascended the ranks of Hong Kong's pro-Beijing elite, amassing great wealth. This thread will cover A LOT of territory. (1/x)

    JUST POSTED: The Chinese Communist Party elite have a huge financial stake in Hong Kong. Relatives of 3 of the top 4 CCP leaders have luxury real estate there worth at least $51m (actually worth far more), a NYT investigation shows. By @jotted and me.
    China’s leading political families have put money into Hong Kong real estate, giving them personal stakes in the city’s fate.

    PUB DAY for "When McKinsey Comes to Town." This is much more than a book about a consulting firm: McKinsey is how ideas like high CEO pay, offshoring, asset securitization, and mega-profit healthcare spread far and wide. THIS THREAD describes our journey.
