Just finished The Poppy War trilogy vol. 1! R. F. Kuang is an amazing writer, weaving Chinese history with fantasy, humor, irony, horror, brutality, and loads of fire. Already onto vol. 2—couldn’t put it down! Highly recommend!

PS: Intrinseca’s Portuguese translation is great!

Views of China ‘broadly negative’ in India and Brazil, survey finds Unfavourable perceptions of Asian giant surged by 21 percentage points in two of the biggest Brics members compared with 2019 results.

I talked to Igor Patrick from the South China Morning Post about the ongoing challenge of boosting positive perceptions of Chinese culture & entertainment in 🇧🇷. Despite 🇨🇳's growing #softpower efforts, there's still work to do in increasing awareness and appreciation.
