Many in 🇨🇳China’s gay community are strangers to Western #LGBT cultures, and Westerners are unfamiliar with their Chinese counterparts’ lifestyles
Using Western metrics like #pride month & #rainbowcapitalism 🏳️🌈 to weigh their joy is intellectually flawed

#Homosexuality existed throughout ancient China, but #gaypride is a modern American celebration → its irrelevance here is nothing to be appalled about
Demanding Asian policies to be more Westernised reinforces the harmful narrative that homosexuality is a Western “lifestyle” 👬

Gay venues and activities in China are unlike those in the West. E.g. In #Chengdu, teahouses are a popular LGBT integration space 🍵
Allies should NOT assume that they are oppressed based on a limiting framework that reduces the West to #liberalism and the East to #conservatism

I spoke to four young Chinese residents, who joined various protests in #Shanghai, Zhuhai and Chengdu over the weekend. Few are under the illusion the protests would lead to meaningful changes, but here's their experience and what they have to say: vice.com/en/article/qjk…
One said most just want to resume a normal life, but she yearns for much more: freedom of speech, an end to the crackdown on Xinjiang, release of activists, feminists, lawyers who have been arrested in recent years. “But just having a normal life feels like a distant hope.”
“I want to stand with those who are courageous and do what I can to help them,” said another protester in Shanghai, who narrowly avoided escape on the first night and returned to the same site the next day to find even more people gathered.
Was passiert gerade in #China? Und woher kommen die Proteste? Eine kurze Erklärung 🇨🇳🧵👇 
Anti-#ZeroCovid protests are spreading in #China in different parts of the country, following deaths in a fire blamed on lockdown policies. bbc.com/news/world-asi…
This anti-#ZeroCovid protest is said to have happened today at Tsinghua University in #Beijing. For young people in #China, a large chunk of this crucial part of their lives has been dominated by the #Covid crisis and all its restrictions.
You’ll notice anti-#ZeroCovid protestors holding blank sheets of paper in #China. This is not only a statement about dissent being silenced here, it’s also an up yours to the authorities, as if to say ‘Are you going to arrest me for holding a sign saying nothing?”.
⚡China's megacity #Chengdu says to gradually and orderly restore normal production and life from 12:00 on September 15 and will adjust prevention and control measures accordingly.
Residents in #Chengdu are required to show negative results from tests taken within 48 hours when entering communities, all kinds of public places, and taking public transportation: notice
#Chengdu city says to reopen nucleic acid sampling sites to provide free mixed testing services for citizens.
🇨🇳 #China #Macro Update (1) | Economic data point to a slowdown and even a contraction in several sectors in November.

🇨🇳 #China #Macro Update (2) | On a YoY basis, the expected slowdown in Nov. could be amplified by a calendar effect given that October figures were artificially boosted by one more business day (compared to Oct. 2020).
🇨🇳 #China #Macro Update (3) | On the positive side, over the quarter, the bottom is probably behind us as the latest #Covid_19 wave seems to be under control.

En la fascinante librería de Zhongsuhe en #Beijing, llena de espejos y arcos que recrean las puertas de la luna de los tradicionales jardines chinos. Un gusto perderse en sus laberintos.
La librería tiene también una sala de lectura que simula un bosque de bambú y un espacio para niños con libros compartidos. Los pequeños pueden sentarse a leer sobre un mapa del mundo bajo un techo estrellado.
Aprovechando que hemos estado en la de Zhongshuge en #Beijing y que ahora me entero de que es el #díadelaslibrerias, repasemos otras innovadoras de #China. Aunque es una biblioteca pública, la de Binhae en #Tianjin es impresionante.

China unveils 600 kph/370 mph High Speed Superfast #maglevtrain prototype makes public #debut, "Fastest Ground #Vehicle Globally": Report

China has been using maglev technology for almost 2 decades on very limited scale. Maglev train could go from Shanghai to #Beijing in 2.5 hours, versus 5.5 hours by high-speed rail. Self-developed by China and manufactured in coastal city of #Qingdao. @CRRC_global new model.
Cutting-edge #scientific and technological achievement in field of #railway transit in world. Train uses electromagnets to suspend itself above rails, and because there's no friction from contact with rail lines, train can run quietly and smoothly. Unveiled in glittery ceremony.
Not sure how on the radar this is for you but the #Chinaflooding season starts in 13 days and it’s already a catastrophe.
An interesting analysis of the situation.
