Editor’s note for Thursday, July 8, 2021
A note from the editor of today’s The China Project Access newsletter

My thoughts today:
Today saw a flood of commentary, and a tiny trickle of new information, about the Chinese government probe of Didi Chuxing six days after its American IPO, and what it means for the future of the internet, the tech business, and U.S.-China relations.
We’ve summarized the newest reporting and analysis below.
Upcoming event on July 15: The second part of the Young China Watchers and The China Project event series looking at China-focused career paths: How to start a career in China.
Our word of the day is pulsar (脉冲星 màichōng xīng).
