I'm not c...

Recently, Pakistan stumbled—not in a major way, but it truly hurt. It shared its own JF-17 fighter jet technology with Turkey, hoping to collaborate with a fellow ally, only for Turkey to learn the technology and then steal away Indonesia’s once-secure, billion-dollar order. What Pakistan ended up with was a cold, hard fact: defense cooperation is not about making friends; it’s...

This time in the U.S., I came to realize a few things I hadn’t understood before.There’s No Good Chinese Food in the U.S. Nonsense. It’s just that good Chinese food isn’t cheap. It’s actually really good. Both Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine are excellent. Way better than the pre-made dishes you get in Beijing malls or restaurants. Yesterday in Los Angeles, I had a Sichuan meal t...

I regretted it today.The weather was hot and humid today, and when I left the office, I happened to run into my boss, who was also leaving. It was quitting time, so it was normal. But leaving before my boss was a little inappropriate, so I pretended to have forgotten something and went back to the office to smoke a cigarette, which took about five or six minutes.

On 29 July, the bid document was mostly done. I told my boss I was quitting when I left work that afternoon, giving him the reason I’d thought of beforehand that he couldn’t refuse.

On the 30...
