I'd like to recommend China Neican to everyone interested in China *China Neican is a newsletter by Yun Jiang and Adam Ni from the Australian Centre on China in the World, and the China Policy Centre in Canberra. The newsletter is also published as a weekly column <https://www.thechinastory.org/keywords/neican/> on the China Story blog <https://www.thechinastory.org/blog/>. The name Neican 内参 (“internal reference”) comes from limited circulation reports only for the eyes of high-ranking officials in China, dealing with topics deemed too sensitive for public consumption. To receive regular updates, please subscribe <https://neican.substack.com/subscribe>. You can find past issues here <https://neican.substack.com/archive>.*
*Folks, if you enjoy reading Neican then we’d appreciate it if you could share it with your contacts. With your help, we hope to reach more readers in 2021.* *- Yun and Adam* https://www.neican.org/ On Wed, Jan 20, 2021 at 7:54 PM <tbyfi...@panix.com> wrote: > Yes please, and thank you, Geert.
