An excellent piece by @eosnos; the clearest takeaway for Chinamaxxers is this point by @RushDoshi: “A country tends to create an external order that looks a lot like its internal order"
And the piece ends with a fortune teller, which I of course love!

Thanks to “The Outsider” bookstore in Tokyo for this shoutout for Sparks.
张彦先生的《星火》，也在最近的禁书名单中。
2024年就出版了日文版，推荐给日本的读者们找来读。但是，因为翻译了完全不一样的书名，张先生的名字又写了英文名字的カタカナ，真的很不容易发现。
现在找来中日英三个版本的封面放在一起。
📖中文版：《星火：中国地下历史学家与他们的未来之战》
📖日文版：『中国の反体制活動家たち――閃光の抵抗運動史』
📖英文版：Sparks: China’s Underground Historians and Their Battle for the Future

Great work! Please contact me at wmccarren@voicesunbound.org so we can discuss the case of Chinese journalist Dong Yuyu. I am sure Sen Durbin would want to add him to this list as well. Sen. Van Hollen’s office has been helping us with that case.
