Ping-pong diplomacy
The World Table Tennis Championships in Nagoya, Japan in 1971 marked a change after a friendly meeting between table tennis players Glen Cowan and Zhuang Zedong of the USA and the People's Republic of China (PRC). After two decades of hostility between the two countries fueled by the Cold War ideology and memories of the Korean War the trip was called "ping pong diplomacy" by the American media and led to the visit of some famous Americans to China. It tells the bizarre and tragic story of how a top-level game in the Chinese government was used to cover the deaths of 3.6 million people by holding the World Tennis Cup during the Great Famine, the heroism of their players convicted and murder during the Cultural Revolution, and the survivors reunited to shake their American counterparts in 1971.

Tiny but Mighty: The Choker. Top Story - October 2021.
I grew up in the 90’s and early 2000’s. I scrunched my hair and straightened my bangs. I accessorized with bouncy butterfly clips, white eyeshadow, and flavored lip-gloss. I wore scrunchies on my wrist. I wrapped flannel shirts around my waist and danced in frayed wide leg jeans to Brittney. I begged my mom to let me bedazzle my bellybutton with stick-on rhinestones like Christina. (Looking back, thank God she said no.) It was grungy, it was tacky, and it was wonderful. As the fads of the 90’s and early 2000’s come trickling back into present day trends, the nostalgia washes over me and wraps me into the warm hug of childhood memories. As I happily embrace the comeback of bellbottoms and flannel, there has been one thing that just gets me giddy: the choker. Easily my favorite item from the time, wearing a choker always made me feel like the coolest kid in the room. They made me feel pretty, and there was something about them that felt so mature, like wearing one made me older and edgier than I was. As an adult, wearing a choker evokes the same kind of confidence; I feel sexy, spunky, and there’s something about them that now feels so sophisticated. It’s such a tiny accessory, and yet it stirs up so much emotion and so quickly bumps my self-esteem up a few notches. Looking back through the choker’s history, it turns out that I am not the only one that the piece has this type of effect on. It’s been a look for thousands of years and has held power in many ways over the centuries.
