Good evening, I've been incredibly busy lately and have had no time to update the newsletter. It's a good opportunity to let you all know that I will be staying in the United States from Feb 5 to Feb. 18 for a two-week vacation. It has been over five years since my last visit to the U.S., and I am aware that over 30% of this newsletter's readership is based there. Therefore, if possible, I hope to meet some of you during my stay. I haven't finalized my schedule yet, but I will definitely spend a few days in San Francisco and New York, and I'll make sure to visit Texas, as I have never been there and have always wanted to see it. I might also visit 3-5 other cities, so if you have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know.
Hi Jiang Jiang, I'm in SF, would be happy to introduce you to great Mexican food and some 4th generation Chinese diaspora folks here who helped build Chinatown!
"In his youth, Xi read 'One-Dimensional Man' by Herbert Marcuse." The book was published in English in 1968. There was apparently a Taiwan Chinese translation in 1987. (www.marcuse.org/herbert/pubs.htm)
Marcuse's book is a difficult text in English. Are we really to believe that as a youth Xi read it? In what language? Or did the writers of this piece simply find the word "one-dimensional" convenient for a bit of Xi hagiography on the topic at hand?
Interesting! Also see my recent post about the 国家版本馆

Oh. No. You do not want to go to Texas. They are violently racist lately.
Santa Fe, New Mexico is the oldest state capitol in America. With world class dining, Opera, and Art.
Come here instead. ✌🏽
