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

My thoughts today:
Here’s a nice long read from the New Yorker: China’s reform generation adapts to life in the middle class. Peter Hessler writes:
My students from the nineteen-nineties grew up in rural poverty. Now they’re in their forties, and their country is unrecognizable.
Our word of the day is Mă Xīngruì 马兴瑞, the new Communist Party secretary (and the top leader) of Xinjiang.
