I really enjoyed my chat with Zhang Feng, we probably talked for about 6 hours-far longer than the length of the article, and I heard a lot of his interactions with local officials that surprised me with what officials really think. Feel free to read!

In our new column "What China's Thinking," the prolific social media blogger Zhang Feng (张丰) explains how censorship works in the era of WeChat, and talks us through a changing media landscape. Read the Q&A: chinabooksreview.com/2026/01/27/wct…

“起个大早，赶个晚集,” a Chinese saying that means “getting up early and catching up late.” This vividly describes Baidu, which invests early in many areas, such as AI, but is consistently overtaken by competitors. Baidu's Robotaxi is temporarily ahead— but for how long?

My first cover story published on @thewirechina . Compared with the first "going out" 20 years ago, this time, Chinese enterprises and capital have encountered skepticism and scrutiny, but they still feel that outside China is now the best place to invest.

This story was sparked by a video I came across one tired night on the Beijing subway two years ago, discussing "zero-dollar shopping" . The term is fraught with racism and political misinformation, underscoring how easily misinformation can distort people's perceptions.
