Editor’s note for Thursday, August 12, 2021
A note from the editor of today's The China Project Access newsletter.
My thoughts today:
Canadians behind bars in China, for dubious reasons, have been in the news this week.
Today, some attention turns to Australian citizen Chรฉng Lฤi ๆ่พ, who was working as a journalist for Chinese state media but was detained a year ago by Chinese security agents under highly suspicious circumstances. From the Sydney Morning Herald:
Colleagues and friends of Australian TV journalist Cheng Lei have made a plea to Beijing on the anniversary of her detention, warning they are concerned for the welfare of her young children and remain at a loss as to why she has been detained.
Job for researchers with Chinese language skills: The Environmental Investigation Agency is hiring a China specialist and a pangolin campaigner.
Our word of the day is New Oriental is now going to tutor parents? (ๆฐไธๆน่ฝฌๅๅน่ฎญ็ถๆฏ๏ผxฤซndลngfฤng zhuวnxรญng pรฉixรนn fรนmว?)
