Is this a 'very Chinese time in your life'? Chinamaxxing trend boosts China's soft power Chinamaxxing is adding more gloss to the recent flourish of Chinese soft power.

TIL I learned that there is some Tiktok trend called "chinamaxxxing" that has broken containment and may be going mainstream. e.g. www.bbc.com/news/article... I feel so old.

China's Draft Cybercrime Law The draft is already controversial, with some commentators concerned that it increases online surveillance, fortifies censorship, and extends long-arm jurisdiction to conduct overseas. While it is not...

There is so much going on in the Draft Cybercrime Law that I can't do it justice:
- fortifying real-name registration
- threatening VPNs

All this impending snow.
Reminds me that now we enter into the 24th of 24 micro-seasons: “Greater Cold” #大寒 - the coldest period of the year. Yet also, a period anticipating the beginning of spring and the warmth of the coming lunar new year.

Trump admin. has dropped its plan to deport heroic Chinese dissident Guan Heng - likely because of massive public outcry. We must similarly press for reversal of Trump's many other cruel efforts to deport dissidents and victims of persecution back to their oppressors: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

ICE Holding Chinese Man Who Documented Uyghur Camps Heng Guan is awaiting an immigration hearing on Monday that could lead to his removal from the U.S. and ultimately land him back in China, according to his lawyer and a New York-based activist group.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.

He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.
