China Hangs on Xi’s Every Word. His Silence Also Speaks Volumes.

At the important Communist Party congress this week,

the Chinese leader didn’t mention two long-repeated maxims.

To many, it’s a warning of the turbulent times ahead.

Why China’s Confidence Could Turn Out to Be a Weakness

State propaganda about China’s rise is stoking extreme nationalism.

That could blind China to its problems, and could lead to conflict

— perhaps over Taiwan.

If It Were My Home

 

The headlines tell a lot

about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations

of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

 

But you may have

one very basic question

that you can't easily find

an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

 

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

 

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
