I research and write about China, AI, and the geopolitics of technology. Currently based in New York City.

Welcome to my corner of the internet where I’ve been blogging about life since 2017. You can find past blog posts here.

In my day job, I lead China and AI policy research for Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google). My recent pieces can be found in the New York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, The Ideas Letter, TIME, Fortune, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, and The Diplomat. I was previously a China journalist at Bloomberg. My views have been quoted in CNN, TIME, Bloomberg, WSJ, TechCrunch, BBC, The Guardian, Vox, NBC News, IEEE Spectrum, The Straits Times, among others.

In my free time, I’m working on a speculative fiction novel, which received a scholarship from the McCormack Writing Center (formerly the Tin House Workshop). My senior thesis at Harvard was on Sinofuturism.

For more commentary and analysis on China, read my Substack newsletter, “Unprophetic.”
