Thanks to all of you for helping make my strategy for a Xinjiang full-court press ChinaTalk’s most viewed article.

I will be continuing the conversation online this Tuesday at 2:30 pm EST. I’ll start off by briefly discussing the proposal with Lawfare editor Jacob Schulz, and then open it up to questions and comments from you all. We’ll be hosting the event on Crowdcast, a platform that I promise actually makes webinars functional. I look forward to continuing the conversation next week.

Sign up here to register for my live discussion on US policy in response to Xinjiang, Tues 2:30 EST.

THREAD: Following our cover this week on Uyghurs, I wanted to highlight scholars, journalists, activists and exiles who have helped expose and explain what is happening in Xinjiang, from the camps to population control to the diminishing of Uyghur identity

Want to add one anecdote: just 4 years ago, account deletion still seemed unfathomable to Chinese netizens. 作业本 (Notebook), an early influencer with 8.9m followers, got deleted in 2016. It made national headlines. The slippery slope only took 4 yrs for ppl to get used to

Pokémon announces name change in China. 6 Pokémons names were edited out parts that mean "hooligan", "toxic", "death", "thief" or"bandit". This change was met with great disapproval and suspected to facilitate game approval by obeying China's absurd censorship "regulations".

It does not have to mean less money for r&d. They could just make less profit and invest the same in r&d. It is a choice

The U.S.-China tech war is hurting the chip and telco sectors in both countries. For U.S. chip makers, the loss of China sales means less money for R&D, making it harder to continue producing world-leading cutting-edge chips. @stuwoo https://t.co/cnbbi1h98e

Well, the firm that takes what may be a suboptimal strategy of over-investing in R&D could ultimately lose out to a firm that doesn’t, but on the margin, yes, probably true.

I wrote about the divergence of contemporary Chinese literature and Chinese literature in translation—the former young and vital, and the latter not so much—and why that might be the case.

Translating popular fiction would probably do more good for China’s image than funding the thousands of Confucius Institutes. However, I’m pessimistic that the state organs now which fund translation will listen to Dylan and start putting real money toward works that could generate Three Body Problem-level hits and give Americans a more well-rounded sense of Chinese society than the mostly dissident literature that makes it in the US today.
