Editor’s note for Tuesday, September 22, 2020
A note from the editor of today's The China Project Access newsletter.
My thoughts today:
From Tibet to Beijing to a virtual United Nations:ย Today was not a slow news day. Aside from the major stories we summarize below, two other pieces of news caught my eye today:
- Aย New York City police officer, Baimadajie Angwang, 33, has been charged by U.S. federal prosecutors โwith acting as an illegal agent of the Chinese government [and] providing intelligence about Tibetans living in the United States to officials at the Chinese consulate,โ reports the New York Times. Angwang was born in China and is ethnically Tibetan.
- The Hong Kong police have decided to stop recognizing the credentials of some local journalists. Hong Kong media groups today โhit backโ at the police decision, reports HKFP.
Our word of the dayย is work hard to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 (ๅชๅไบๅ2060ๅนดๅๅฎ็ฐ็ขณไธญๅ nวlรฌ zhฤngqว 2060 niรกn qiรกn shรญxiร n tร n zhรฒnghรฉ), which Xรญ Jรฌnpรญng ไน ่ฟๅนณ today promisedย (in Chinese) to do.
Lastly, would you like toย attend a closed-door sessionย with the speakers of this Fridayโs Disentangling the Escalating U.S.-China Tech Battleย event, Kaiser Kuo and founding partner of Race Capital Edith Yeung? Please email jesse@thechinaproject.comย if you are interested, space available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
