In December 2022, Chinese official propaganda on COVID policy made a sharp U-turn. How did these contradictory messages from the policy shift impact citizens’ perceptions? We find "soft" ones lost persuasiveness while "hard" ones more strongly deterred protests. @PSRMJournal

🚨 New @cps_journal publication w/ @Jiawei_Fu_ & Haibing Yan @embracefall! Does affluence influence responsiveness in urban China? We show mixed findings: richer areas get faster municipal service—but poorer areas receive equally positive outcomes. 🔗journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…


Fantastic work showing that propaganda research is thriving! Congrats, Eddy and Yumin!!

Thrilled to see our work out in Journal of Politics! We theorize how autocrats use redistributive messaging to claim democratic legitimacy—and show it can shape public opinion. Grateful for the journey with @eddySFYeung and the support we received throughout.

AJPS has for decades been recognized as one of the top two or three journals in all of political science. The central goal of the new editorial team is to maintain and, if possible, further strengthen this reputation. Read the Editorial Principles at AJPS: ajps.org/2025/06/05/edi…

Excited to share our new @AJPS_Editor paper! We analyze 5M+ Douyin videos from 18K+ regime-affiliated accounts and show how propaganda is now produced and spread through a decentralized model on social media. Four years of work with an incredible team: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…

How has digital media transformed authoritarian propaganda? In our new @AJPS_Editor paper with @YingdanL_kk, @jenjpan & @xuyiqing, we proposed a *decentralized propaganda* model and empirically demonstrate its existence on Douyin: doi.org/10.1111/ajps.1… 🧵
