Editor’s note for Wednesday, October 27, 2021
A note from the editor of today's The China Project Access newsletter.
My thoughts today:
Two things to note, aside from the news below:
State-owned nationalist tabloid Global Times wants you to know that if you help make sure Chinese executives are not arrested in Canada, youโll do well. One โexpertโ cited by that newspaper said:
On the one hand, HSBC’s mainland and Hong Kong customers who used to harbor negative feelings against HSBC because of the Mรจng Wวnzhลu ๅญๆ่ case might find their anger had eased. On the other hand, third-party clients who were suspicious about HSBC’s handling of client information had their doubts alleviated, after seeing that the Meng Wanzhou case has been resolved.
โTo bolster their influence in Israel, Chinese players have leveraged local Hebrew language media to calibrate their messages for Israeli audiences,โ says Roie Yellinek.
Upcoming events:
- October 27: Chinaโs future role in the world of crypto.
- November 4: How Xi Jinping is remaking Chinese education.
Our word of the day is Tajikistan (ๅกๅๅ ๆฏๅฆ tว jรญ kรจ sฤซ tวn).
