Click through and make a donation (even better, make a recurring donation), will be your best use of 90 seconds all day.

It's a sum that is absolutely inconsequential in comparison to the value CDT provides.
It's 1/4 year kindergarten tuition at a Beijing int'l school.
I just donated to cover China Digital Timesβ @chinadigitaltimes.net server costs for the year.
As a China researcher, I rely on their work heavily.
If you care about cutting through censorship and propaganda, consider supporting them too.

A critical resource, under threat because of DOGE cuts. No group is better at finding cracks in the Great Firewall. If you think itβs important to understand China, consider donating

When I 1st started working on China topics, I'd bemoan the state of Chinese studies by saying that "Anyone who regularly reads @chinadigitaltimes.net 's front page knew more than 90% of "China Watchers".
Years later, I realized this said more about how awesome CDT was than anything else.
Over the years, Iβve made a habit of reading China Digital Times before doing my own research on the Chinese internet. The CDT team is remarkably quick and skilled at capturing the most valuable bits of information driftingβthen quickly vanishingβin the vast, chaotic sea of Chinaβs online space.

CDT is hands-down one of the most important public resources available for trying to understand China

We are glad to see that some curious minds like us want to find out more about Chinese APTs associated companies in reality. They actually paid a visit to them.

The exterior of a 1930s cinema in Taiwan. The style is eclectic, drawing upon elements of Art Deco, with a green and brown pebble-washed surfacing. There is a bright red car parked out front and the theater is very obviously abandoned.
Ticket booth for an old 1930s cinema in small town Taiwan. There are two ticket windows with rounded arches and a fare schedule above. This fare schedule is likely a recent reconstruction, not original.
The gloomy interior of a 1930s theater in small town Taiwan. Not much light seeps in but the wooden seats in various states of decay are visible in the foreground, and the original stage still emanates some of its former majesty. There is also a balcony level at upper right and upper left. Light seeps in through the trees behind the stage.
Inside the projection room of an old 1930s theater in small town Taiwan. A vintage film projector is visible with the logo "Long Life" written in cursive on the side. Everything is covered with dust and obviously hasn't been used in decades.
Dianji Theater (ι»ε§¬ζ²ι’) in Madou, Tainan, is one of the few remaining Japanese colonial era cinemas still standing in Taiwan. It was established around 1938 and likely remained in use until the 1980s. After a long period of abandonment it was almost knocked down in 2020...
