\"When responding to threats against Taiwan, U.S. leaders generally assume that Chinese leaders actually want to annex the island\u2014as a recent report by the congressionally mandated U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission concluded. ...But over the last few decades, threatening Taiwan has been advantageous for China, often gotten it what it wanted, and has been more fruitful\u2014and far less costly\u2014than seizing the island by force would have been.\"<\/p>\r\n<\/div>

The Other Bayonet: A New Source to Frame the Second Anglo-Burmese War<\/h2><\/div>
\r\n

Abstract: A new source reveals Burmese bravery at the Shwedagon pagoda following the hostilities of the Second Anglo-Burmese War in 1853. Once buried in the Mormon archives in Salt Lake City a brief journal describing events in and around the Shwedagon Pagoda of that period has surfaced. The journal, written by a man situated in the Shwedagon Pagoda, strengthens postcolonial scholarship focusing on counter narratives to colonial conquest and dominance not easily found in primary sources to date. Destruction or suppression of primary sources served a strategic agenda as another type of bayonet for colonial conquest. Through this new eye witness, we can now glimpse amidst desecration and hostilities into Burmese rebellion against their aggressors.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>

From Siamese Prison to Mormon Memory<\/h2><\/div>
\r\n

\"A day after Elam Luddington baptized his first and only convert in Siam, Captain James Trail, the King of Siam thrust the convert into a debtor\u2019s prison without food. The captain\u2019s crime was misunderstanding a command and firing a salute from his ship in the rhodes of Singapore. With only one baptism, is it possible that Luddington's apparent failure washed him from our collective Mormon memories?\"<\/p>\r\n<\/div>
