Editor’s note for December 20, 2022

A note for Access newsletter readers from Jeremy Goldkorn.

Dear reader,

This is our holiday schedule: We’ll skip Fridays and Mondays for the Christmas and New Year holidays in the U.S., although some of us will celebrate various other things.

Our word of the day is Chinese and Indian soldiers clashed on the disputed Himalayan border, which the Chinese foreign ministry rendered as:

中印两国士兵在喜马拉雅山脉边境争议地区发生冲突

zhōng yìn liǎng guó shìbīng zài xǐmǎlāyǎ shānmài biānjìng zhēngyì dìqū fāshēng chōngtú
