"Please join us in congratulating Daniel Justus, one of our current student assistants and a UVA DEALLC alumnus (Chinese Language & Literature ’16), on the publication of his article on the similarities between the effects of Mao’s populism in rural China and Trump’s populism in rural Appalachia in the World Economic Forum’s official blog, “Agenda” and his recent participation in their Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland! Driven by the Forum’s mission of improving the state of the world, the Annual Meeting is a platform that allows world leaders to collaboratively shape global, regional, and industry agendas each year, and Daniel’s participation is a great achievement!"
