China Impressions 2025 – Part I: Street Life, Science, and the Rule of Law
A Personal Return On December 6, 2019, I left China. Nearly six years passed before I set foot on Chinese soil again, and the fascination I had once felt returned instantly. This travelogue begins with two statements: Western antagonism—bans on advanced chip exports, restrictions on Huawei, and other punitive measures—has backfired. The Chinese are quicker…

China Impressions 2025 – Part II: Merit, Markets, and Political Imagination
Governing Systems: Time to Rethink Assumptions Western democracies operate on the assumption that universal suffrage and electoral competition inherently produce better governance.

China
Human history has witnessed two grand civilizational and cultural experiments: China and Europe. As Jared Diamond suggests, the Neolithic Revolution—the dawn of agriculture and settled life—occurred independently in three major regions: the Fertile Crescent (around modern-day Baghdad), the Yellow River basin in China, and the Andean highlands.

Quasi 518 – Natural Wine and the Best Norcineria in Town
I’m sitting inside Quasi 518, a small aperitif bar on Via Cavour—the short stretch of the street that lies on the city side.

La trattoria del borgo Elce
This place is almost invisible, tucked away on the second floor of Bar Desio. But it’s definitely worth getting a little lost on Via Fuori le Mura to discover a restaurant that surprises with its quality and creativity. We’ve been here three times now, and it’s never let us down. I enjoy the laid-back vibe
