@jcmittelstaedt I was very fortunate to supervise this fascinating project.

[Mark Frazier @markfrazierTNS]

much commentary on social media in #china that comparisons with other countries' retirement ages are bogus; argument that working to age 63 (or 58 for women) in China in terms of hours on the job is like working to age 70 in developed countries

[Mark Frazier @markfrazierTNS]

#china's retirement age reforms also include the provision that workers as of 2030 have to be enrolled in social insurance for 20 years, not 15, in order to be eligible for pensions.

Well put: "Chinese mercantilism, European and US corporate price gouging, American Big Tech and Too Big To Fail banks are really all disparate parts of one problem — too much concentration of power in one place." https://t.co/ITuQ8Od5Rd

With thanks to @ChinaFile and @MaryGao for inviting me and for getting this in for the "Two Sessions" opening.

Xi Jinping recognizes that unaddressed inequality poses a threat to his legitimacy, but so would a slowdown in growth + redistributive policies--tax reform, loosening controls on movement, bringing SOEs to heel etc, all carry political risks-https://t.co/tJdlCFw2Ch

[Mark Frazier @markfrazierTNS]

@susanjakes @WeiCui12848265 @Yujeong1107 @guoguang_wu @mikeygow @MaryGao My contribution, on making SOEs transfer shares of listed stocks to ailing pension funds to support "common prosperity" definitely is in the category of "trial balloon." Like other balloons of late, likely to get "shot down!" But deserves consideration, I think.

@NDLoubere Thank you for not saying “disinterested”! A word always used now to mean not interested. Don’t worry, kids will get more interested!

W. Sewell on events:“initially localized ruptures always have the potential of bringing about a cascading series of further ruptures that will result in structural transformations-that is, changes in cultural schemas, shifts of resources, and the emergence of new modes of power.”

Status of detained protestors will extend the protests or dampen them— government should release them immediately or face longer term resistance. I doubt that abolishing Zero-COVID is going to happen though.

130am in Beijing. Still going. Cries of “we want freedom, we want human rights”

[Vivian Wu @vivianwubeijing]

“Step down CCP”. It’s amazing such straightforward slogans are loudly shouted out, so clearly and proudly. Young people showed no fear, rather there is high spirit and solidarity. This is a historic night. 共产党下台。这样的口号在上海街头被响亮地喊出。年轻人毫无恐惧毫无犹豫。

上海乌鲁木齐路 最新视频
民众齐声高喊“共产党下台 习近平下台”

[William Yang @WilliamYang120]

Incredible footage from #China’s #Shanghai, where countless people gathered at a road called “#Urumqi road,” chanting a slogan “Step down, the Communist Party” very loudly.

[David Moser @david__moser]

I've lived in China for 30 years, and I've never seen such a brazenly open and sustained expression of rage against the PRC govt. WeChat is exploding with protest videos and furious vitriol, and civil disobedience is becoming rampant. This is a serious test of CCP governance.
