Rest in peace, #JeromeCohen, a truly principled China scholar.

He was so very kind to me, when inviting me to speak of the Uyghur genocide at the Council of Foreign Relations.

Also, he cared genuinely about my country's citizen who is held kidnapped in China, #GuiMinhai. Will always treasure this.
