On counting up versus counting down – a portrait of three figures in Hong Kong who believe in the power of the individual to shape something greater than themselves. Story with @frostyhk: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

It's often easier to do nothing than to do something. This is the story of individuals who continue to explore the boundaries of what is permissible in Hong Kong, even as the city's once vibrant civil society has come under immense strain. W/ @frostyhk: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

China is mapping out a suite of industry standards for its emerging low-altitude economy. Among them: tapping the national meteorological bureau to provide better weather forecasts for drones and flying taxis: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I've been laid off from the Post today, along with too many of my incredible colleagues, after eight incredible years, most of them in Hong Kong and covering China's expansion, a story that will define our generation.

THE WALL DANCERS: Searching for Freedom and Connection on the Chinese Internet, is out today!! It's about the Chinese internet and how it transformed Chinese society over the last three decades. It's also about queer communities and entrepreneurs, underground music and migrant labor, solidarity and censorship. Along the way, I try to make sense of what it means to live with dignity and hope within the technological systems that shape all our our lives. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/708614/t…

The rare double-hit is driven by large, slow-moving dips in the jet stream, regions of high pressure and a disrupted polar vortex, writes @joewertz and @maryhui bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

A blast of frigid Arctic air is set to sweep across Asia next week, threatening to increase gas demand 🥶 ⚠️ 🇨🇳 Temperatures in Beijing and Shanghai could plunge by 20C through Wednesday 📈 This could become the coldest January since 2021 and boost competition for LNG

China’s push to be a weather superpower has seen authorities accelerate efforts to end reliance on a European dataset, promoting a homegrown alternative for the era of artificial intelligence-fueled forecasting. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Mosr major Chinese AI weather models have been trained on a European dataset known as ERA5. That runs against China's push for technological independence. Now, Beijing has launched a homegrown alternative, and hopes to grow see it widely used globally: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Shipping companies are crunching vast troves of weather data to optimize voyage efficiency and cut costs in an industry that still relies on periodic updates from mariners at sea, writes @maryhui bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

A deep freeze in the Northern Hemisphere would likely mean higher power and natural gas prices, adding to the cost burden for ratepayers as inflation remains stubbornly high, writes @WeatherSullivan @joewertz and @maryhui bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

Asia lags behind the US in aerial reconnaissance, but with warming temperatures threatening to make cyclones more destructive, better data is critical, writes @maryhui bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

Ahead of climbing trips, I often toggle between different weather apps & models to figure out which crag to go to. But it's hard to assess which forecast is the most accurate. Now, new tools are making it easier to directly compare different nowcasts: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

Low frequency, high-impact phenomena are the most destructive and the hardest to forecast, making greater accuracy and earlier warnings crucial to saving lives, writes @joewertz and @maryhui bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
