Honored to contribute to the piece!

@pretentiouswhat 毕节 has a stronger negative reputation tbh. It had two major scandals back in the 2010s associated with migrant workers' children dying of various causes, and fairly frequent political scandals in the past five yrs.

@dakekang Further, Chinese netizens nowadays grew up accustomed to key-word censorship so radical or not people will use evasion techniques like nicknames, emojis, and homophones. This habitual use of dog whistles, imo, further reinforces radical groups' fringeness.

@dakekang Re: incel equivalents or extremist ideologies, I will say Bilibili, Red note, Weibo, and others all have their share and unique skewness toward certain groups (e.g. rad Han nationalist, women/mens's right, anti-LGBT/DEI), though often algorithmically secluded from many users

My latest newsletter covers the inside story of the first China-Russia crude oil pipeline negotiations, drawn from the memoirs of Zhang Guobao, former NDRC Vice Chairman and head of China's first National Energy Administration.

@KaiserKuo @david__moser Not to mention the rising popularity of divination thru various Chinese and non-Chinese methods on social media and AI chatbots, where users are overwhelmingly from the younger generations.

Whether unification will become easier with the passage of time remains to be seen, but I agree that a war is neither imminent nor inevitable. The key is to help Beijing believe that peaceful reunification remains a viable option.

[Jiaxiu Han @JiaxiuHan]

I felt the opposite: if drones with various levels of sophistication become more dominant in war, larger states with stronger manufacturing capacity will be more disproportionally powerful than smaller ones, as the latter lose the option to play the "unbearable human cost" card

[Taisu Zhang @ZhangTaisu]

In the future, we might look back at the rise of cheap, weaponized drones as a watershed moment in human geopolitics: in both Ukraine and Iran, it may have given smaller countries a measure of real military deterrence that previously was only available to large nuclear powers…

If this strikes you as a huge breakthrough, you’re probably reacting to a version of the hukou system that hasn’t existed in practice for quite a while.

[Jiaxiu Han @JiaxiuHan]

After seeing reactions of several big names in the area, I begin to feel you aren't being harsh. Applying the same anachronism to US, it would be like predicting the 2026 midterm election with knowledge no older than the Lehman Brothers crash. No one w/should take them seriously.

[David Fishman @pretentiouswhat]

Eh, maybe I'm being too negative here. I guess if this SCMP coverage is finally the catalyst for a bunch of people to suddenly realize their rigid impressions of the hukou system were almost two decades out of date, then it's a win, even if it's framed weirdly.

@BigCooChicken @yiliuai Vast minority给我看力竭了，写得这么长至少把语法弄得拟人一些吧

[DA Wei @Tsinghua 达巍 @mawangcun1]

In the latest episode of #Sinopinion, Shao Yuqun, Zhou Bo, Xie Tao, and I weigh in on Trump’s recent China visit , including the new concept of a “Constructive Strategic Stability Relationship. Hope A Chinese perspective is helpful.

This is a good piece by @DeutscheWelle on China's recently implemented tariff-free policy for imports from Africa, and nice to add a couple of quotes to it:

[Patricia M. Kim @patricia_m_kim]

➤Putin’s visit to Beijing is less about optics than strategic alignment. If Xi and Putin unveil a joint statement and concrete agreements, it would reinforce the message that the China-Russia partnership remains strong, institutionalized, and coordinated across a broad range of strategic issues.

➤The contrast would be notable to the Trump-Xi summit, which yielded separate readouts with limited substance and appeared to speak past each other.

➤Beijing is succeeding in projecting the image of a stable and confident great power. Xi increasingly appears to be operating from a position of strength, while both Putin and Trump remain consumed by wars of their own making.

@BigCooChicken 所以网信办时不时地搞十一抽杀，隔几个月抓几个自己炫富仇穷或者鼓动相关价值观的网红永封。虽然不解决根本问题但起到一个灭火的作用
