Sneak peek into our recent CNA Climate Conversations podcast, where I went head to head with renowned atmospheric scientist Katherine Hayhoe in our weekly quiz. Good fun. 🤓 Full podcast here: cna.asia/3XRAM9T youtu.be/CnvZPRK5ZGU?si…


It sets the stage for some form of compensation for developing countries suffering the brunt of climate change but not quite just yet. Questions are what type of comp and when, and where wealthy emerging economy China stands — or should stand — in all of this. #LossAndDamage

For the first time, the topic of “funding arrangements” for loss and damage was included on the conference’s formal agenda, overcoming longstanding objections from the United States and the European Union. nyti.ms/3TajyjC



“I don’t think Russia can recover as a major arms exporter from this,” said Ian Storey, a political scientist at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore who studies security issues in Asia. “Not for a long time, if ever.” nytimes.com/2022/11/06/wor…


For those just joining us, #COP27 is like episode 27 of a drama series about how the whole-stitch-in-time-saves-9 ship has sailed and how some very VERY optimistic people are navigating choppy waters to salvage what’s left. But yeah. There’s no turning of this tide.

The last 8 years are on track to be the warmest on record. Sea levels are rising at twice the speed of the 1990s. We must answer the planet’s distress signal with ambitious, credible #ClimateAction. #COP27 must be the place – and now must be the time. public.wmo.int/en/media/press…



As a bit of a malaria dork, this is a pretty exciting moment.

Breaking News: The WHO approved the first ever malaria vaccine, which could save tens of thousands of children in sub-Saharan Africa. The quest for this vaccine has been underway for a hundred years, a WHO official said, and is a "historic event." nyti.ms/3oxUgAy

Me learning some mad skills from the Chinese Hawaiian Kenpo Association @CHKANYC. They’ve been teaching the #AAPI community ways to defend themselves as attacks against Asians surged. @cgtnamerica #AAPIHeritageMonth #StopAsianHate

As #AntiAsian attacks rise in the U.S., especially in #NewYorkCity, more people are taking #selfdefense courses to protect themselves. CGTN's @LilingTan moves from the @CHKANYC on how to fight back. #AAPIMonth #StopAsianHate



“When one new Yorker gets attacked, I think all new Yorkers get attacked.” Inspector Tommy Ng, head of the NYPD Asian Hate Crimes unit @NYPDAsianHCTF tells me why he’s taking these attacks personally + his message for Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders this #AAPIHeritageMonth.

CGTN’s Liling Tan (@LilingTan) speaks with the head of the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force Tommy Ng about his position, how he’s working to stem anti-Asian hate crimes in the city and more.

With #COVID19 dampening #ChineseNewYear celebrations, Chinese communities in the U.S. have found creative ways to safely celebrate. In New York City, see what the Museum of Chinese in America is doing. @mocanyc @LilingTan


What a difference a year and a day makes. Covering SARS back in 2003 as a rookie reporter made me a little paranoid when this started to emerge, but even then I couldn't have imagined a pandemic worse than SARS. And here we are.

1 year and 1 day ago... the press pack gather for a statement at York University about 2 students confirmed as having the first known cases of #Coronavirus Some locals we spoke to ahead of time didn’t know what it was... others weren’t worried... the calm before the storm.

I tell @LilingTan that the #BidenAdministration will be good for @UN, but not introduce "an idyllic period of peace and love" in Turtle Bay. youtube.com/watch?v=el32CM…

The United Nations has now officially entered the post-Trump era. Anyone who supports multilateralism and human rights will be breathing a sigh of relief. Not least of all, @antonioguterres himself. See my comments with @LilingTan on CGTV ⬇️

"@antonioguterres wouldn't say it publicly but the last 4 years has been about trying to manage a bad relationship and minimize the damage from the #Trump admin." 📺 Our Executive Director @SAdamsR2P on @CGTNOfficial.

I knew this but still... force of habit compelled me to check for his response to his #impeachment. What times we live in.

During the four years of the Civil War, the confederates never got closer to Washington than Fort Stevens. Until today, when insurrectionist supporters of @realDonaldTrump paraded through the U.S. Capitol Building carrying the Confederate battle flag.

Moments after President-elect @JoeBiden tells @realDonaldTrump to “step up” and address the protests, @POTUS posts video remarks only to have Twitter prohibit anyone from liking, replying and retweeting because of his disputed claims of election fraud.
