ICA 2025 anyone? #ICA2025 Panel about China and activism or wanghong, or internet famous spaces world wide? Or anything else!

Great piece from @ZhaoyinFeng on Xiaohongshu and its impact on tourism. China's digital territory and digital border has made Xiaohongshu the essential transnational social and cultural infrastructure for people leaving the PRC for tourism, work, and studying.

[Joanna Chiu @joannachiu]

I was excited as soon as @ZhaoyinFeng pitched this story, reported from Laos and Indonesia with @BeimengFu.

It's such a fun piece about how the Xiaohongshu app has transformed the way Chinese tourists travel, while saving local businesses from collapse. https://t.co/cJWZh6iTL3

@Liu_Chuncheng This is beneficial! It's great that you've had this experience I wonder what it will lead to in your work 🤔

My latest on irregular Chinese migrants crossing into the EU via the Balkan Route. The numbers of Chinese asylum applications in Germany and The Netherlands in 2023 are three times higher than the COVID years. More Chinese may look to Europe after Ecuador’s new visa requirement.

Also - as a bit of fun - a projection of the results onto three alternative voting systems - Scottish-style PR, a roughly county-level List PR system and STV.

for @guardian, i looked into the "oxford study" comment on asian women's tiktoks mocking them for dating white men. there's no real oxford study, but some believe it is—i spoke with asian women on the fallout and to the oxford authors being dragged into it https://t.co/3xBKXidyBO

Very interesting and timely report! But it would be good for someone to highlight the numerous Chinese diasporic groups in the Netherlands who have a very very different politics to this group. I spent the last two weekends at Chinese activist events meeting 100 new people.

[Carwyn Morris 👉 carwynmorris.bsky.social @carwyn]

Reporters, academics, politicans, and other groups with a voice (and time to do research) should avoid accidentally flattening the Chinese diaspora into a single homogenous group.

[Carwyn Morris 👉 carwynmorris.bsky.social @carwyn]

I think this sort of critical reporting is essential, but if there is only very reporting of the Chinese diasporic as CCP-linked then that may have quite a negative knock on effect within wider society. There are numerous events critical of what's occuring in the PRC.
