Liu Minhua, a migrant from the Three Gorges reservoir area, carefully carried a peach tree that once grew in front of his home, as he said goodbye to his hometown where he was born and grew up, 2012, by Li Feng李风.

The Three Gorges Project is the largest hydropower project in China, and the entire world.

Within the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, 632 square-kilometres of land was inundated, including 2 cities, 11 counties, and 116 market towns in Hubei and Chongqing.

More than 1.3 million migrants have been relocated. Among them, nearly 170,000 people have left their homeland and moved far away, to other provinces and municipalities such as Fujian, Guangdong, Shanghai, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

🇨🇳 has spent a lot of money to organize and shoot 100 episodes of "General History of China" with modern technology. Now it only takes 75 hours to see the ups and downs of 4,700 years of Chinese history.

All 100 episodes are here https://t.co/Vx2S00g1pm

thanks to @ChinaGSProject @eric_olander @stadenesque for the great questions - lots more to explore in these data into the future

[William Hurst @wjhurst]

The most surprising aspect of these #protests is that they’re being reported in the Western media. These things happen frequently, and we ought to take note. But they are too seldom on the radar of most observers outside #China .

How does the world view China?

Kudos to @zhubochubo on his new @AsiaPolicy product Global Public Opinion on China

As China rose, its average favorability in worldwide opinion polls fell, and faster in recent years

2002: +33
2007: +22
2012: +14
2017: +8
2022: -10

But...

[Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) @AsiaPolicy]

How are citizens from over 160 countries reacting to China's growing economic, political, and social footprint? ASPI’s #CenterforChinaAnalysis tracks and visualizes this in a new interactive website Global Public Opinion on China (GPOC).

Here is how it works 🧵👇(1/5)
