标题：Why Everyone Is Suddenly in a ‘Very Chinese Time’ in Their Lives

The viral meme isn’t really about China or actual Chinese people. It's a symbol of what Americans believe their own country has lost.

正文：Across social media, people are proclaiming that “You met me at a very Chinese time of my life,” while performing stereotypically Chinese-coded activities like eating dim sum or wearing the viral Adidas Chinese jacket. The trend blew up so much that celebrities like comedian Jimmy O Yang even got in on it. It has now evolved into variations like “Chinamaxxing” (acting...

标题：‘China’s POTUS’ told us how he went viral. And yes, it started as a bet

正文：Employing the casual hyperbole of his presidential idol, the “Chinese POTUS” gave our  interview a 67 out of 10. He said it calmly. Cheerfully. With absolute confidence. Like people do when they’re standing in a megacity with fans seemingly on every street corner. Here in Chongqing, southwestern China, population 32 million, business manager Ryan Chen has mastered an impression so uncanny that strangers stop eating lunch to look up, mid-bite, when they hear his voice.

标题：What the collapse of Iran's regime would mean

Thousands have died and America has threatened to strike back against the horror there

正文：WHEN PROTESTERS took to the bazaars and streets of Iran, the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, met them with bullets. After two weeks of chants of “death to the dictator”, militiamen allied with the Revolutionary Guards and toting automatic rifles rode in on swarms of motorbikes. With snipers, they shot their fellow citizens, aiming at their faces and genitals. Morgues are overflowing. Bodies in bags are stacked on bloodied pavements. Several thousand may be dead. Thousan...

标题：China’s ‘Are You Dead?’ app checks in on growing cohort of people living alone

Popularity among Chinese Apple users highlights concerns created by rapidly changing demographics

正文：An app called “Are You Dead?” that checks up on people living alone has become the most popular paid Apple Store download in China, a sign of concerns created by the country’s rapidly changing demographics.

标题：The White House weighs how to acquire Greenland

Leaders in Greenland and Denmark are in shock. Is the president serious?

正文：T’s appetite in the western hemisphere appears insatiable. Just a day after snatching Nicolás Maduro, Mr. T set his sights on Greenland. “We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security,” the president told reporters on January 4th. His allies amplified the message. Stephen Miller argued American control was necessary to secure the Arctic and defend NATO. Forget international law, he growled: “We live in a world…governed by strength, governed by force, governed by powe...

标题：The options America faces in Iran

T promises to “rescue” Iranian protesters. How could he try?

正文：To hear T tell it, the end of the Islamic Republic is nigh. “Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before,” he announced on social media on January 10th. “The USA stands ready to help!” The American president has made similar pronouncements every few days since a wave of protest began sweeping Iran on December 28th. He warned that America is “locked and loaded and ready” to intervene if the regime kills demonstrators. “If they do that, they’re going to have to pay hell...

标题：Is Life a Game?

正文：Every summer for the past few years, I’ve taught a multiday seminar for philosophy professors who want to write for magazines. The seminars involve a fair amount of after-dinner chitchat under the stars, during which talk often winds its way to the weirdness of being a professional philosopher. It turns out, for instance, that philosophy departments are ruled by rankings. A single website, the Philosophical Gourmet, ranks graduate programs in philosophy, sorting them not just in general terms but by specialization.
