Editor’s Note for Wednesday, May 11, 2022

A note for Access newsletter readers from Jeremy Goldkorn.

editor's note from jeremy goldkorn, editor in chief of supchina

My thoughts today:

LGBTQ life in China is the focus of our new column by Nathan Wei. The first installment is โ€˜Rose Boyโ€™: How a death on campus changed LGBTQ education in Taiwan. In addition to the main topic described in the title, today Nathan summarizes news about Chinaโ€™s LGBTQ scene from political and social issues to nightlife. This week that includes:

  • Mental health at the Beijing LGBT Center
  • Censorship of gay themes in the Chinese release of the new Harry Potter movie
  • LGBTQ rights in China: Challenges under Xรญ Jรฌnpรญng ไน ่ฟ‘ๅนณ and disputes in the U.S. over delayed congressional report

Our word of the day is 90 years old (ไนๅๅฒ jiว”shรญ suรฌ).
