Great piece from @ZhaoyinFeng on Xiaohongshu and its impact on tourism. China's digital territory and digital border has made Xiaohongshu the essential transnational social and cultural infrastructure for people leaving the PRC for tourism, work, and studying.
I was excited as soon as @ZhaoyinFeng pitched this story, reported from Laos and Indonesia with @BeimengFu.
It's such a fun piece about how the Xiaohongshu app has transformed the way Chinese tourists travel, while saving local businesses from collapse. restofworld.org/2024/xiaohon…

My latest on irregular Chinese migrants crossing into the EU via the Balkan Route. The numbers of Chinese asylum applications in Germany and The Netherlands in 2023 are three times higher than the COVID years. More Chinese may look to Europe after Ecuador’s new visa requirement.
儘管走線歐洲的熱度遠不及美國，近一年來，歐洲走線正在悄然興起，成為中國走線客「潤」出去的另一選項。我採訪了兩個經巴爾幹半島偷渡歐盟、走線結局迥異的中國人，嘗試了解他們為何選擇歐洲。他們嚮往的「低成本、高福利」歐洲走線又是否真的那麼輕鬆美好？@initiumnews

Also - as a bit of fun - a projection of the results onto three alternative voting systems - Scottish-style PR, a roughly county-level List PR system and STV.

for @guardian, i looked into the "oxford study" comment on asian women's tiktoks mocking them for dating white men. there's no real oxford study, but some believe it is—i spoke with asian women on the fallout and to the oxford authors being dragged into it theguardian.com/world/articl…
Very interesting and timely report! But it would be good for someone to highlight the numerous Chinese diasporic groups in the Netherlands who have a very very different politics to this group. I spent the last two weekends at Chinese activist events meeting 100 new people.
This quoted post is unavailable.
I think this sort of critical reporting is essential, but if there is only very reporting of the Chinese diasporic as CCP-linked then that may have quite a negative knock on effect within wider society. There are numerous events critical of what's occuring in the PRC.

When I set out to make Walk the Line, I wanted to answer 1 question: what's fundamentally changed in China that tens of thousands would put their lives on the line to leave?
In the process, I discovered so much more -

The great @yancongphoto and I have a chapter out in the book, Anthropology of an Ascendant China. It makes comparisons between the consumption of wanghong spaces in Beijing and Dusseldorf, and tries to understand Dusseldorf's emergence on Xiaohongshu taylorfrancis.com/chapters/e…
