greetings

I'm Jinhua Yip, a technology-policy researcher. My work covers artificial intelligence, semiconductors, critical minerals, commercial space, and the role private companies play in foreign policy.

This site is where I turn that research into things people can use: maps, trackers, indices, questionnaires, and explainers. Each project includes its sources, method, and known gaps so readers can inspect the reasoning rather than take the result on trust.

I studied international relations at SAIS and UBC and have worked in political-risk consulting and the Canadian government. My interests outside of work are varied but primarily include marine mammals, aviation, hockey, geography, and history.

If you like what you see, please stay tuned to see more products of my late-night scatterbrain thoughts-turned-projects.

Every project links to its methodology and limits, so you can see how a result was reached and where it is uncertain.
