I've just learned that He Yong (何勇), a rock musician I've known since 1988, has died at 57 — no reliable sources on cause of death yet, but his mental health struggles were no secret. Many credit him as China's first punk rocker. I'd tend to agree. https://t.co/Z2wz1hJRC3 1.1K views · 13 likes · 2 reposts · 3 replies 04 Sep 2026 This is great.

I’d love to interview you on China’s strategy to pursue AI development that is more focused on industry application.

If you’ve been riding along for free and can swing it, I hope you’ll support us: https://t.co/LWbP9Bpswn It makes a real difference. 10.6K views · 32 likes · 2 reposts · 5 replies 26 May 2025 7/ The value the newsletter brings is rich: We have great stuff from Trivium, from the China-Global South Project, our fantastic column "This Week in China's History," and much much more. All in one place. 3.3K views · 17 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 26 May 2025 6/ I've been doing this now for 15 years, and I want to keep it going, but it's gotten tough: Funding cuts, a competitive environment — so the upshot is I really need your help. 2.1K views · 21 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 26 May 2025 5/ The show and newsletter take real work — and real resources—to keep going at this level.

I don’t chase clicks. I don’t bring on guests to “own” them or debate them. I try to ask serious people serious questions, and try my best to model what a good-faith, information-dense conversation looks like. 2.5K views · 34 likes · 0 reposts · 3 replies 26 May 2025 3/ The China conversation in the West is increasingly driven by alarmism, misinformation, and bad faith. Sinica pushes back with calm, informed, morally grounded voices — subject-area experts who actually know things and aren’t trying to sell fear. 2.9K views · 43 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 26 May 2025 2/ Since the demise of The China Project in November 2023, I've been out on my own, and I depend on the support of subscribers. I know there's a lot of China-related content out there, but I believe Sinica is special. 3K views · 25 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 26 May 2025 1/ A quick word from me — not a promo, but a personal note.
