About

Jonathan Walton (华强生) is currently an MA candidate in China Studies at the University of Washington’s Jackson School of Internat’l Studies.

He previously served 3 years as a research associate for the Long Term Strategy Group, an independent think-tank in Harvard Square, and spent time in the People’s Republic with SYA China (1998-1999), the ACC program (2001-2002), and a Fulbright Fellowship to Nanjing University (2004-2005). He has a BA in East Asian Studies from Oberlin College.

The title of this blog comes from Sun Yatsen’s Three Principles of the People, perhaps the only modern political principles that all Chinese compatriots can agree on.
