Editor’s Note for Thursday, September 1, 2022

A note for Access newsletter readers from Jeremy Goldkorn.

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

My thoughts today:

A Taiwanese microchip tycoon wants to train more than three million “civilian warriors” to help defend the island against a potential Chinese invasion, donating $33 million of his own money, reports AFP.

Our word of the day is a patchwork of disinformation, which is how the Chinese Foreign Ministry translated 信息的大杂烩 xìnxī de dàzáhuì, in its daily hour of hate today (English, Chinese).
