I don't know if the SOTT crew would be interested in carrying my articles, but I'd figure I'd put it out there. After all, I have a lot of niche knowledge that's hard to get, and were I asked if I would like to learn such things I would respond with a resounding YES! It would also expand my readership and further spread this knowledge which would give more people understanding of foreign politics. I study political science and current events religiously and what I see everyday is immense ignorance as to the objective understanding between states and societies. Obviously the SOTT group is familiar with this, given that they post so many articles for exactly the same purpose, namely extending objective understanding of our modern circumstances.
Here are three recent ones I wrote. I try to restrict them to roughly 1000 words so people can learn while making a small time investment. I produce longer works too but I find people get more out of shorter pieces presented in segments. This places the burden of separation and packaging of information on me, which is difficult, but I enjoy writing anyways so it is a happy sacrifice.

The topic here is the idea of Tianxia. I approach it exclusively politically, with regards to Chinese foreign policy and their behavior towards other nations. Most people find Chinese foreign policy mystifyingly confrontational or benevolent, neither of which are accurate. Chinese foreign policy can better be summed in the phrase "hide your capabilities until you are ready, then dominate". Chinese interests are expressly hegemonic and not at all hidden. However the idea of Tianxia is not well understood by almost all westerners, which makes it seem confusing.
Rather than present my analysis here, I will refer readers to the above articles. If the SOTT team decides it is to their liking, I will happily encourage their presentation on the SOTT site and write more for the SOTT team in the future. I'm going to be writing anyways, so it might as well be productive and beneficial to the maximal amount of people.
