3/3 While the rest of the world tries to protect itself from the consequences of weak Chinese demand, a much better solution (if unlikely) would be for China to boost domestic demand relative to supply.
Charges in the UK cases - "Christopher Berry, 32, and Christopher Cash, 29, will be charged with providing prejudicial information to a foreign state, China, and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 26 April" cps.gov.uk/cps/news/cps-a…
Who to believe. David and his camera, or some ex-TEFL teacher proofreaders at state media, who visit on scripted tours run by CPC 🤔

Again. Shanghai proofreader, out of the loop. 京A is a Beijing institution. And the beer she had was locally brewed Flying Fist IPA. (For the record: mine used to be Black Velvet to start, then the sessional Worker's Pale Ale. Or Banana Bomb if I was feeling rich. 🤤)
..but WHY? Not cos Xu's report made such a splash, fronting world media -Or caught Party in a barefaced lie -Or forced CPC into a huge PR op -And (prob) helped hasten decline of Xinjiang "Iron Fist" campaign ..her biggest crime was to mainly use state sources. This is personal~
"How dare you use filters,"
Reminder. State media outlet Shanghai Daily pays Andy to "tell China's story well". 1) This is 3 hours after the earthquake. 2) Classy. 3) Any wonder why Taiwanese support for unification currently polls at ~7%..?
Damning: but it's always hard to tell if Andy is gaslighting in tweets, or simply doesn't know basic facts~ "Freedom of the press" isn't a western standard: it's a Chinese one. The phrase is—literally word-for-word—in the constitution. The CPC is failing its own rules.
Fun fact. 2 weeks after arriving to Beijing, got talking to a director at a friend's bbq. "Oh, I did scriptwriting at uni!" We met for coffee, and he sat very patiently listening to me blabbering away, my 2 cents on films~ Way home, googled him. It was Chen Daming 🫠#我死了

Excellent debrief of foreign reporting at two sessions~ To add. You rarely see BBC/AP/etc journos on Xinhua cos they're specifically told *not* to give interviews to state media/be used. Xinhua etc would love to get a face bigger than Bosnia News espousing—ain't going to happen.

2/6 a debt-sustainability point of view, but according to China's NIFD, the country's "macro leverage" ratio, a proxy for debt-to-GDP, "inched up" (according to Caixin) by 6.8 percentage points in the first quarter of 2024, to 294.8%. http://114.115.232.154:8080/
The funny thing about the China Daily usage is that it opens to question the sovereignty of "Xizang" Why assert it as China's? Do you say China's Beijing or China's Sichuan? That's like saying America's Texas.

@JEPomfret I was followed most of the time, by men on foot and in cars. There were plain clothes police at mosques for Eid. But I was able to report independently. The main constraint is that there was no way to interview Uyghurs because I didn’t want to get them into trouble

I went to Urumqi and Turpan this week for the final days of Ramadan and the Eid al-Fitr holiday. Independent reporting from Xinjiang runs constant risks of harming Uyghurs, who face arrest for speaking to foreign media. I was followed by plain-clothes agents on foot and by car 2/
The Guanxiang mosque on the right has had the tops removed from its minarets. The Youlewu mosque to the left has been part-demolished and is now a car park. What remains of its gate is entombed in cement panels. Where they’ve crumbled the original tiled columns may be seen 9/
Further down Jiefang Road there used to be a pair of mosques side by side, the Guanxiang 关乡 and Youlewu 优勒乌清真寺. These are images from Baidu street view from May 2016 8/
It is now a museum and “patriotic education base”, offering a party-approved take on 18th century wars between local rulers to turn a Uyghur chieftain into a Chinese patriot. No mention is made of its role as a mosque, until a few years ago. 5/
