. @Changxche is doing some of the best journalism on AI in China. His latest on robotics in China –– ranging increasingly proliferating robotics training centers and local governments exploring how to work with technical experts to deploy the latest tech –– is definitely worth the read. theguardian.com/technology/202…

We’re often asked: Why are Chinese EVs so cheap? Comparing costs between Western and Chinese automakers in China shows that subsidies matter, but they’re only part of the story: rhg.com/research/why-a…

Have been too shattered to write this but for the sake of clarity — I have also been laid off by the Post. I was one of the few journalists still working inside Russia. My last story went on the front page and featured rare testimonies from wounded soldiers criticizing the war.

I was the Washington Post's China bureau chief until last year. So much our coverage depended on our local researchers. Some left China so that they could do their work more safely. Now their future is uncertain. Please help support them. gofund.me/2b1c6bb48

Please share & contribute to this new fundraiser to support The Washington Post's courageous international employees and local staff who were laid off, who are not eligible for Guild protections and who face immense logistical challenges, security risks. gofund.me/e765aab9f

It’s been the honor of a lifetime to work alongside some of the most talented journalists in the world at WaPo. I’ve been inspired so many times these past six years by my colleagues’ kindness, resourcefulness, bravery, wisdom and devotion to the daily pursuit of truth.

It was an honor to be @washingtonpost's first Sydney bureau chief. Unfortunately, I'm also the last. The paper is shrinking foreign coverage. I've lost my job. Worse, millions of readers will lose my colleagues' brilliant coverage. At a time of tumult, we need more info, not less

The Post gave me confidence at a time when I was still finding it. My colleagues took me in like family and gave me the opportunities to tell stories of Taiwan beyond just cross-strait tensions. I wish nothing but the best for my amazing colleagues. They truly deserve better.

My job was also eliminated. It’s been a thrilling challenge to cover seismic changes in China for WaPo. As access shrinks, I believe it has become ever more vital for the world to understand what is happening there. To my amazing colleagues, especially our researchers, 千恩万谢

A short note to confirm The Washington Post closed its Seoul hub today. Have loved every moment of working with the team here and at the mothership. The cuts have been deep across the board and I will miss the many talented people I have learned from — you are all magnificent.

I have been laid off today from the @washingtonpost, along with most of the International staff and so many other wonderful colleagues. I’m heartbroken for our newsroom and especially for the peerless journalists who served the Post internationally — editors and correspondents who have been my friends and collaborators for almost 12 years. It’s been an honor to work with them. I launched the WorldView column in January 2017 to help readers better understand the world and America’s place in it and I’m grateful for the half a million loyal subscribers who tuned into the column several times a week over the years.

I was laid off today from the Washington Post along with many, many talented colleagues. It’s been a joy and privilege to serve as China correspondent, and cover everything from the trade war to Taiwanese organized crime to robots. I hope to continue doing this work.

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.

I was laid off as Asia editor of the Washington Post today. It was an absolute privilege to work with people who are not only incredible journalists but also wonderful humans. My heart breaks for everyone who lost their job today - and for the readers who will be the worse for it

Laid off from the Washington Post, along with the entire roster of Middle East correspondents and our editors. Hard to understand the logic. But I am grateful for my incredible colleagues, whose grit and dedication to the reporting and each other I will miss dearly.

It was a privilege to be a Post correspondent, roaming the world the last 7+ years for a paper I very much believed in. I'm gone along with the rest of the ME team and majority of teammates from Delhi to Beijing to Kyiv & Latam. Sad day, but it was a lot of fun and we raised hell

For months, an Indian computer engineer trapped in a pig-butchering scam compound in Laos was secretly messaging ⁦@a_greenberg⁩ and leaking him materials. This is the incredible story of how he exposed the Chinese organized crime groups and escaped. youtu.be/zOcNaWmmn0A
