...clear that the survey should be heavily centered on the qualitative. A meaningless popularity contest—awarding Masters an averaged CUE Guide-style zero to five point rating on “friendliness” and “approachability”—would be useless to the student body, and likely useless to Masters and Senior Tutors themselves. Likewise, there is no sense in making the evaluation results public and thus placing the Masters under unproductive and arbitrary pressure for popularity.

As the P.L.A. expands, the pressure on Taiwan to maintain the balance of power increases. Some analysts argue that the island hasn't kept pace. Taiwan's military budget has fallen as a percentage of its GDP, and its armed forces have been slow to enact needed institutional reforms, according to U.S. strategic experts. A multibillion-dollar arms purchase from the U.S., pushed by President Chen...
