The final The China Project COVID-19 newsletter | April 7, 2020

Dear readers,

Tonight will be the final installment of our COVID-19 newsletter series. When we started this, Trump was still downplaying the likelihood of real COVID-19 trouble, and most other (Western) media companies were barely digging in on the topic. We saw a real need for information and a chance to perhaps widen our audience reach in the U.S.

At this point, however, we feel that our audience is likely saturated with COVID-19 updates from the rest of the media world. No joke, one placeย even suggested there might need to be a newsletter about all the other COVID-19 newsletters. In any case, this newsletter has fulfilled its primary purpose of making sure people understood the pandemic as it unfolded.

On a very happy note, our frontline medical worker personal protective equipment fundraiserย is nearly at its goal, and weโ€™re confident it will close out the last $100 or so by tomorrow. With the matching dollars weโ€™re providing from our non-profit arm, we raised $50,000 in total. We already made the first delivery of the facemasks, and you can see the video of that here.

We thank you all for reading, and for any of you who signed up for this newsletter as your first The China Project newsletter experience โ€” we will be adding you to our The China Project Weekly Briefingย to keep you informed about all thatโ€™s happening in China, the country whose rise is changing the shape of the modern world. For anyone ready to reallyย understand China, sign up for a $1 month-long trial of our premium ACCESSย daily newsletter.

Lastly, on April 22nd, weโ€™re holding the The China Project CEO Webinar, and itโ€™s freeย โ€” 6 CEOs, 3 hours, and more insight on how to navigate the global COVID-19 economy than anywhere else on the web.

Thanks again, and ๅ†่ง
