Sparks: China's Underground Historians and Their Battle for the Future
Sparks: China's Underground Historians and their Battle for the Future describes how some of China's best-known writers, filmmakers, and artists have overcome crackdowns and censorship to forge a nationwide movement that challenges the Communist Party on its most hallowed ground: its control of history.
Is there a link between a country's economy and its sporting performance?
The top four medal-winning countries in the Asian Games 2023 also have the biggest economies in the continent. An analysis of historical data shows that this isn’t merely a coincidence.
Please stop referring to the Chinese and Russian 'models' of internet control.
How Russia censors today is the complete opposite of what the 'Russian model' referred to when the idea of 'models' was first proposed (and China hasn't exactly been static either...)
The United States and China are increasingly positioning one another as geopolitical foes, and that’s leading to reductive nationalist narratives that distract from tech’s real harms.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to @yangyang_cheng about the need to look at the United States and China more objectively if we want to truly understand the threats posed to us by technologies emanating from both countries.

China’s economic woes are not new, but have become visible. Back in 2018, after Xi Jinping became president for life, I pointed out the beginning of the end of China’s rise.
Why else would the Chinese meet with a runner-up party? The article clearly says AfD is hoping for stronger connections with China. This is just another case of fascists working with fascists.
They’re already having each others’ back, the nazi bitch with CCP connections is straight up defending China:
[AfD co-leader] Weidel herself knows the People’s Republic of China very well. She spent six years living there on a German Academic Exchange Service scholarship and completed her doctorate on the Chinese pension system
She has also ridiculed German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s criticism of the human rights situation in China.
“God help us: Baerbock is on a new mission in #China. She wants to emphasize the ‘shared European conviction.’ This already fails because it is not only #France which does not share this conviction…”
