For @chinabksreview I wrote about Liao Yiwu’s work, the power of details, the challenging task for a writer to reinvent himself in exile, and considered the lure and the trap of the David and Goliath narrative. chinabooksreview.com/2024/12/05/lia…

Since the 1990s Liao Yiwu has been gathering oral histories of Chinese experience, from the everyday to the extraordinary. In 2011, harangued by the state, he left China. How does a storyteller find new voice as a dissident? @ohanzhang profiles @liaoyiwu1 chinabooksreview.com/2024/12/05/lia…

‘Once in a while I think about how, over time, the life goes out of certain words. The Chinese term “huodongjia”, or “activist”, for example, is dead.’ @ohanzhang on the New Workers’ Literature Group of Picun. granta.com/picun/

For @GrantaMag, I wrote about a migrant worker’s colony outside Beijing, the heart of China’s new working class literature, and wanting more from life than its daily grind. granta.com/picun/

The extent to which xinchayin, or “new tea drinks,” have swept China’s malls and smartphones in the past few years reflects a radical transformation of consumer culture, @ohanzhang writes. nyer.cm/2SGfltV

For @NewYorker, I sampled China’s inventive milk teas and considered the broader consumer culture in connection with delivery labor and Schorske. bit.ly/3NaqRre

The solidarity rallies of 2022 catalyzed many overseas Chinese people’s turn toward public dissent, but a diasporic political consciousness has been growing online for several years, @ohanzhang writes. nyer.cm/M3rpdBr

For @NewYorker, I spoke with scholars, organizers, artists and protestors in the Chinese diaspora who paint a picture of how the acts of dissent by their predecessors inspired them to search for voices and communities of their own. bit.ly/3KEIz4T

We got hold of Israel’s dossier against UNRWA - why did the donors including the UK withdraw funding on such flimsy unproven allegations before an investigation? channel4.com/news/israels-e…

With it being near impossible for foreign journos to report from Gaza, and local journos under bombardment, it's been difficult to cover this conflict. Still, media orgs have published imp investigations that shed light on how Israel has been conducting this war. A thread:

Several authors, including RF Kuang, were excluded from the science-fiction Hugo Awards in China for reasons that remain unclear. "I assume this was a matter of undesirability rather than ineligibility," Kuang said. theguardian.com/books/2024/jan…

L.A. Times management has notified me that 94 @latguild members are being notified of intended layoff today, or about one-fourth of our whole membership. This total, while devastating, is nonetheless far lower than the total number of Guild layoffs initially expected last week.

BREAKING: After killing at least 24,000 Palestinians in Gaza - 70% of them women and children - Israel has not killed even one senior Hamas leader, according to US intelligence officials. From an article buried deep in the @nytimes. Israel faces a genocide trial for a reason.⤵️
