Shanghai police is checking everyone‘s phone to eliminate dissent and trance of protest. This has been common in Xinjiang against Uyghurs for years. Now it is normalized in more cities. Beijing is scared to the people in China!

Here is a close-up of CCP extraterritorial police 'offices' in Europe as quoted in @FT from the @SafeguardDefend report. Spain has the most with 7 CCP police offices followed by Italy with 5.

This translated post poetically captures so painfully how joy has been slowly squeezed out of life for so many in China over the past several years. Read this beautiful piece by @LiYuan6 nytimes.com/2022/11/29/busin…

someone mentioned "foreign hostile forces" in Liangma river the crowd responded in fury: "the foreign force you talked about - are they Marx and Engels"? "Was it foreign force that set fire in Xinjiang? Was it foreign force that toppled over the bus in Guizhou"? "Are you all here
北京亮马桥 有学生指出,在我们的周围有境外反华势力,导致群众群情激愤;有学生回应称“你说的境外势力,是马克思和恩格斯吗!” 学生继续询问道:“请问新疆的火是境外势力放的吗?请问贵州的大巴是境外势力推翻的吗?” 我们连网都上不到国外的!我们哪来的境外势力!我们只有境内势力不让我们聚集!

Happening on Twitter at the moment at a time of unrest/protests taking place in various places across China. When trying to find the latest posts on situations in various places (in Chinese), you get endless streams of nonsense ads preventing quick access to actual information.

Sadly, CBC closing its China bureau after 40+ yrs in Beijing. In the 5 yrs I was there, official roadblocks made it increasingly difficult to report, and Beijing unresponsive in granting new visas to CBC. Still, being there remains best way to tell China story. Hope we’ll return

Should Russia lose in Ukraine (it points to that direction now but Putin will likely have one more go w all in), it would strengthen Xi’s hand vis a vis 🇷🇺. But if Putin falls as a consequence, well, trying to work out the scenarios for Beijing.

Musician Roger Waters: "They're not encircling Taiwan, Taiwan is part of China, and that's been absolutely accepted by the whole of the international community since 1948, and if you don't know that, you're not reading enough. Go and read about it." This is where we are.

Two documentaries I previously did on Hong Kong & Taiwan are now curiously age-restricted on ⁦@YouTube⁩. Means you can’t access them without signing in. Wonder who’s been flagging them 🧐

If you have time for just one China article or video, watch this 14-minute film by @muyixiao and the @nytvideo team. Based on 100,000 pages of documents shared by @ChinaFile it shows the astounding measures taken to build a nation-wide surveillance state. nytimes.com/video/world/asia…

Does anyone still remember Bo Xilai, formerly the Party Chief of Chongqing and before that the Minister of Commerce. Once considered a rival for Xi Jinping, Bo was sentenced to life in jail in 2013. What's happened to him?
