A note from the editor of today's The China Project Access newsletter.

editor's note for Access newsletter

My thoughts today:

Sad news: Ezra Vogel, renowned scholar and much-loved teacher of things Chinese and Japanese, died yesterday at the age of 90. Here are three obituaries: in Nikkeiย and the Washington Post, and by his son Steven in Japan Times.

Our word of the dayย is the butterfly effectย (่ด่ถๆ•ˆๅบ” hรบdiรฉ xiร oyรฌng).
