Editor’s Note for Monday, May 2, 2022
Politics & Current Affairs
A note for Access newsletter readers from Jeremy Goldkorn.
My thoughts today:
No bad news on WeChat: The Chinese social media accounts of Hรณng Hร o ๆดช็, an outspoken Hong Kong-based market strategist, were suspended after a series of downbeat commentaries and a slump in mainland equities to two-year lows on COVID-19 lockdowns and global political tensions.
Context from last week Friday:
- The China cushion has deflated โ Q&A with Stephen Roach / The China Project
- China in โdeep crisisโ, says Hong Kong private equity chief / FT
- โChina’s leadership is prisoner of its own narrativeโ / The Market
Our word of the day is picking quarrels and provoking trouble (ๅฏป่ก ๆปไบ xรบnxรฌn zฤซshรฌ).
