Editor’s note for Friday, March 5, 2021
A note from the editor of today's The China Project Access newsletter.
My thoughts today:
The annual Two Sessions is fully in swing with the opening of the National Peopleโs Congress in Beijing today: we have a summary of what you need to know in todayโs newsletter, or here in a sentence:
China is confidently going into the spring, prepared to crush any opposition in Hong Kong, and to push for technological self-reliance in food and silicon chips, and aiming for solid economic growth of around 6%.
Itโs Womenโs History Month and our link of the day is to โThe entire skyโ: A brief history of Chinaโs lesbian activism, by Ting Lin.
Our word of the day is Five Year Plan (ไบๅนด่งๅ wว niรกn guฤซhuร ).
