Editor’s Note for Monday, March 28, 2022
A note for Access newsletter readers from Lucas Niewenhuis.
My thoughts today:
Have you used the China NewsBase? This new product for Access members on The China Projectโs website is a searchable database of over 45,000 articles collected by our editors over five years of sending a daily newsletter.
Articles from the past few months in particular have been carefully keyword tagged: Try a tag-based search for Russia, Beijing 2022 Olympics, or COVID-19 for curated streams of content, from The China Project and elsewhere, with the most important news and insightful analysis on major current events.
Please give me direct feedback on this product โย what you liked and found useful, what you disliked and found confusing, what features you want to request be added, or anything else. Find me at lucas@thechinaproject.com, or reach our whole editorial team at editors@thechinaproject.com.
Our word of the day is mandarin duck hotpot (้ธณ้ธฏ็ซ้ yuฤnyฤng huวguล), the term for the popular half-spicy, half-mild way of serving Chinese hotpot soup, with a divider down the middle separating the two pools of broth. Some Shanghai residents are using the term to refer to the way that the cityโs COVID-19 lockdown has isolated people in the eastern and western districts from each other.
