There's a critical mass of China expertise on Bluesky, so I'm done with this site until things improve. I'll continue posting on PRC censorship on Bluesky: wafarris.bsky.social, where I'll post about my new project: "An Encyclopedia of Censorship in the PRC."

Had a nice visit to Taichung. Spent a couple evenings at the annual jazz festival, got a photo of another bucket-list bird, and visited a largest-ball-of-twine-esque tourist trap.
