What Do We Need China For?

The last time Kovrig visited was two summers ago, and it was too brief as always. Botha caught up with him on her back deck with the view of Lake Ontario. They shared a meal, and spoke of his next stop in Western Canada. His plan was to climb some mountains before looping back to his apartment in Hong Kong and his job as the China expert at International Crisis Group, an organization committed to building a more peaceful world.

(Sidebar: in China? Well, there's your problem right there. China simply does not care for Western idealism.)

TikTok, a video-sharing app that has been downloaded two billion times worldwide, has come under fire over privacy concerns that it may share data with the Chinese government.
