@dtiffroberts @PWarell I can't remember if these were more common back in 2015, so can't tell you if "all over Shanghai" was an exaggeration, or if I was just referring to 派出所 where I saw them. FWIW I can think of one in Hongkou, one in Jing'an and one in Changning

@dtiffroberts @PWarell Ha! Not sure the specific timeframe I was referring to, but I've seen signs like this at Shanghai police stations within the last couple of years. Not sure if I can recall a specific example elsewhere. Maybe banks? I left last year so I have no current info...

@dtiffroberts There are similar signs all over Shanghai. Not really fair to present this as a Beijing/Han culture vs. non-Han phenomenon

Feel honored and grateful to be recognised by @Reuters as the Reporter of the Year. It’s especially meaningful for us Chinese journalists working in mainland where we face one of the most difficult journalism environments in the world.

#BingAI has completely eliminated the need for me and my highly specific skillset, and I'm reeling. Prompt: Write me a 20 line poem about Ultraman Taro's encounter with a corrupt Henan LGFV in the style of William Topaz McGonagall.

Just got fresh news that we are locked for 24 hours at least for a closed contact! As we are retailers In Shanghai it means that we are not able to go to our shop during Friday and Saturday which of course is the busiest days! Shanghai is a doomed. Need a plan B ASAP!!!

@emilypawley @paleofuture @Comparativist It just pleases me greatly that I can see someone post a random livestock history question on Twitter and I can think, oh! I know just the person! (Or the person who would know just the person)

Ox tongue isn’t something I associate with American food at all. Anyone have good reads on the ox in US history?
