- Excellent @nytimes.com story by @liyuan6.bsky.social on value of having Chinese students at US univs, and idiocy of shutting them out. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/b... Ongoing saga of Times headline writing: Story makes crystal clear that visa ban *WILL* backfire on US. Headline says "could."
- Latest essay from the always thoughtful @liyuan6.bsky.social: "Two Chinas inhabit the American imagination: One is a technology and manufacturing superpower poised to lead the world. The other is an economy that’s on the verge of collapse."
- fascinating piece @liyuan6.bsky.social in @nytimes.com as someone who teaches in a red state & taught at Shanghai Jiao Tong and Hong Kong's Lingnan which abandoned its original Mainland home during the Cultural Revolution, this is certainly something I've seen coming www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/b...

- Can't recommend this ep of The Daily enough.
- And here is an episode of The Daily that posted Thursday May 1 that walks through the story. You can listen and/or read. What matters is you engage with this information and are informed. Accountability matters. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/p...
- Great @liyuan6.bsky.social NYT article: For #China ’s Trolls, ‘Chairman #Trump’ & ‘Eyeliner Man’ Are Easy Targets Online mockery of #Trump & #Vance is fodder for the Communist Party’s propagandists. For liberal-minded Chinese, it is a creative expression of shock at his policies.

"As reckless and ruthless as Mr. Trump may seem to some parts of the world, in Mr. Xi and China he is squaring off with a leader and a party state that have a long history of single-minded pursuit of policies, even when they resulted in economic and human catastrophe." @liyuan6.bsky.social- ‘ “It would be lying if anyone says they are not scared,” said Yan, the single mother.

- 简体中文世界不少都沉迷于这种宏大叙事，“反共大业”，把各种公共议题都贬为“键政”，好像只有要到600亿美元建国才是唯一正道。 这种认知跟墙内小粉红无异，压根就没见过也不懂什么是异议。就说最有组织最狭义的反抗，也有整理六四死难者名单的，揭露人权状况的，记录维权抗议群体性事件的，还有新疆泄露文件这种大项目。广义上的抗争，比如写个笑话出个新敏感词都能让墙内各舆情单位如临大敌，怎么就不靠谱不成功了？
