An in-depth @WSJ look at how China’s Communist Party tries to tackle rising unrest with a new Central Society Work Dept that helps and surveils left-behind groups and social castoffs, using social-control tools to ensure public order. w/ @shenlulushen

A year ago, China's Communist Party issued new rules against red tape and excessive bureaucracy, as part of Xi Jinping's crackdown on "formalism" that @WSJ wrote about last year. The full directive has now been made public.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping is battling petty corruption amid rising resentment over a sagging economy. More than 500,000 low-level officials and state workers—known as ‘flies and ants’—have been snared in the past year for graft affecting ordinary citizens. wsj.com/world/china/xi-targe…
Xi Jinping's war on corruption has punished officials in record numbers and left many too fearful to act. With China's stagnating economy on the line, Xi wants to reinvigorate the Communist Party with the message that some mistakes are acceptable. wsj.com/world/china/china-xi…

Pope Francis has drawn masses of devotees as he presses through a four-nation tour of Asia—the longest overseas trip of his papacy. But the country that has most occupied the Vatican’s diplomacy isn’t on his itinerary.

I remember spending weeks digging through government sites, tracking procurements, and building databases of China’s provincial leaders in my previous life as a journalist. The grind was real—slow and frustrating.
I want to offer my friends in media and research with free structured web data with @AgentQL . Need to track gov policies, procurement data, or economic trends? We just went live, and I’m excited to see how this can support the important work journalists do every day. Reach me out: producthunt.com/posts/agentq…

As many of you know, after 20 years in journalism and a Pulitzer Prize, I traded my pen for a startup journey. Journalism was about connecting people with info; now, my mission is to connect the world with web data in groundbreaking ways. Next Tuesday, our stealth project emerges, ready to revolutionize data extraction, web automation and testing.
More to come!

The 3rd Plenum communique doesn't mention any change to the status of former agriculture minister Tang Renjian, a full member of the 20th Central Committee who is currently being investigated for allegedly severe violations of discipline and the law.
The 3rd Plenum filled Qin Gang, Li Shangfu and Li Yuchao's vacated Central Committee seats by promoting 3 alternates (Ding Xiangqun, Yu Lijun and Yu Jihong) to full membership. In doing so, the party skipped over Ding Xingnong, a PLA lieutenant general.
