Great reporting and a must read

[emma @msmegalodon]

very interesting how many prominent white writers have gone by asian pen names for many years, often facing no consequences. akira yoshida (c.b. cebulski), david wong (jason pargin), yi-fen chou (michael derrick hudson), the list goes on

“There was almost, I would say, a racial bias in thinking that somehow the Chinese wouldn’t innovate, that all they would do is produce, and that was naive. That turned out to be wrong.” @RoKhanna in @thewirechina https://t.co/ihybKCPzBm

Few Chinese politicians have led a career like Wang Qishan's.

@NorthropKatrina and I interviewed two dozen people who paint a picture of a man who is smart, candid, and above all, a political survivor.

Now, some are asking if he is the last of his kind.

A Twitter account was key in exposing China's protests to the world, rapidly uploading videos censored in China. Just one man is behind it: Li, a Chinese painter in Italy. In his 1st on-cam interview, he tells me why he's risking it all to save history from being erased @AC360

“About 30,000 students lived in shelters. But about 69,000 children were doubled up with other families, and 5,500 other young people lived in cars, parks or abandoned buildings,” via @troy_closson

[The New York Times @nytimes]

More than 104,000 public school students in New York City were homeless during the last school year, new data shows.

The number of students in temporary housing rose by about 3%, a daunting figure that does not include recently arrived migrant children.
