Iā??m a freelance political scientist and I took a job in China as a consultant for the government on the American political climate and culture and how this might impact the implementation of future plans to develop the autonomous region of Xīnjiāng. I worked with a team of macro-economists and anthropologists, itā??s a bit dry but the paid me a lot of money for pretty light work. (Not to mention the fact I get to see the world.

I prepped a piece before the Shanghai Cooperation Summit (like the G8 but for the eastern world) and got my picture taken with a bunch of world leaders.
