Editor’s note for Thursday, June 3, 2021
A note from the editor of today's The China Project Access newsletter.
My thoughts today:
โWhat do Chinese people think is happening in Xinjiang?โ asks Shannon Tiezzi in The Diplomat (paywall): โMany of those interviewed for this piece believe Uyghurs are generally happy and treated well by the government.โ
โTrump but with alliesโ is how some people have been describing Joe Bidenโs China policies. Today’s news that the current U.S. president has extended and amended a Trump blacklist of 59 Chinese companies will perhaps confirm that view.
Researching Chinese companies? We have, in beta for you, a new database of leading and trending Chinese companies and industries: ChinaEdge. Please let me know what you think!
Our word of the day is a rural pig determined to dig up urban cabbages (ไนกไธๅ็ช่ฟๅๆฑ็ฝ่ xiฤngxiร tวzhลซ jรฌnchรฉng gวng bรกicร i) โ see our second story today for its origin.
