Sorry to see this. If there is any consolation, Yang Jisheng, author of books on the Great Leap Famine and the Cultural Revolution, went to Henan to conduct interviews following the 1975 flood devastations. He and his colleague were badly beaten up by the locals.

This is @mare_porter and me in the streets of Zhengzhou yesterday. We were surrounded by an angry crowd shouting things like this is China, get out of China! I tried to de-escalate by “translating” the crowd’s message (Mathias is actually fluent in Chinese)

Putin's comment on Lenin's role in developing an ethnically-based republic system that ultimately contributed to its breakup is resonating loudly in China. My former colleague Ronald Suny wrote on this theme in his The Revenge of the Past:

meeting resistance. The central leadership, with Xi's imprimatur, is now directly involved in getting the lockdown enforced. This is a pivotal moment not only for Shanghai but for China's national "dynamic zero-covid strategy".

For those who can read in traditional Chinese characters, this conversation between Jonathan Spence and Ying-shih Yu, two of the most eminent historians who passed away this year, is a must-read. It's a dialogue from 23 years ago: 史景遷對談余英時：

【敬悼史景遷】23年前，史景遷對談余英時：世紀交替中的中國知識人 - 聯經思想空間 Linking Vision

2021年12月26日，著名歷史學家、中國史學者、耶魯大學榮譽教授史景遷於康乃狄克州家中逝世。1999年，《聯合報》曾促成「東西史學大師跨世紀對談」，邀請余英時與史景遷以1898至1989世紀交替中的中國知識分子為題，分別以東、西方視角來探討一百年來中國歷史與文化之路。

The surrender of Hong Kong and struggles by Shanghai, Jilin and other areas in China to achieve zero-covid make it evident to many Chinese the costs of pursuing the zero-covid strategy. These costs can be counted in lost businesses as well as in lives lost to the strict policies.

This short video from Nantong in Jiangsu, one of the most prosperous provinces next to Shanghai, has received enormous attention in China. It showcases how Chinese urban enforcers keep urban areas free of peddlers.

Now July has arrived, I am excited that my book on China and the Covid-19 outbreak is going into "production" soon. I'll share more as the project moves forward. For all the complaints about Twitter, I have learned so much from many of you through Twitter over the past 3.5 years…

Cases like Eileen Gu are so fascinating to me for reasons other than sports or the athletes. I like it when the athletes have choices. It's the contrast with the plight of ordinary Chinese who cannot travel to China that irk me.

China announced on February 3 that Zhuang Guotai, Administrator of the China Meteorological Administration, was relieved of his administrative appointment. The timing of this announcement matters even though Zhuang had been given another appointment last month.

Here's the TikTok/Douyin guide to "walking the line" to America. Left or right, like it or not, the tide of migrants following such guidance will likely accelerate the debate on immigration reforms.

Urban neighborhood leaders, staff, and volunteers in Shanghai have been under tremendous pressure and some of which have been working hard to cope with lockdowns for several weeks. On the one hand, they face pressure cascading down the political hierarchy. On the other,
